RE: If you could have only 3 textbooks which one would you pick?
Considering this as 'which 3 non-fiction books would you take to your desert island' (rather than 'which 3 books will help you re-bootstrap civilisation when all is lost') I think I'd go for

Structured Computer Organization by Andrew Tanenbaum
Winning Ways for Your Mathematical Plays by Elwyn R. Berlekamp, John H. Conway, and Richard K. Guy
Gravitation by Charles W. Misner, Kip S. Thorne, John Archibald Wheeler

(Although I do have a great fondness for Art of Electronics by Horowitz and Hill, and I have an aspirational possession of Knuth's Art of Computer Programming.)
