I want to write a phrase on my husband's grave headstone that describes his love of fine books. I thought of:
"Riposa in Pace con un buanissimo libro"
but is there something more descriptive and appropriate?
I will appreciate comments.

@wife,
I'm not sure what language that phrase is, but it is not Latin.
I have no suggestions about what to write, but if you have a phrase you want
translated to Latin, I'll give it my best shot.

@George,
But it's pretty clear what the intended meaning is: "Rest in peace with a very good/great book."

@Robert Gentel,
Yes, that is clear.

The Latin for the apparently intended sentence is:
Requiescat in pace cum libro optimo.
