Music on vinyl records, mobile phones the size of house bricks and pornography printed on paper. What hideously out of date stuff do you still use?
Thanks to boozehound for the suggestion

It's around the volume of a shoebox (slightly shallower but wider) with bible-thin paper. I love it.

And also a full-size OED. Two volumes, each of size and mass sufficient to bring a grown man to an unhappy place if it's resting on his knees for too long. Rizla paper. Tiny font. A magnifying glass comes with.
It's all an interesting read though...

Got mine for £16 from Oxfam.
I'd never buy a full set as they're incredibly expensive and I haven't got room, but I love pulling out one of the volumes of the Shorter OED to get a properly thorough answer on something.
Also - Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable is an old-fashioned reference joy.
