The Joy of Cooking, http://www.thejoykitchen.com/ and Mastering the Art of French Cooking.

Edit: If you'd like to learn how to bake, I'd suggest King Arthur Flour's Bakers Companion.

Saw a used On Cooking in "Like New" condition for $50 and grabbed it. Hopefully, it arrives in the promised condition and everything works out. Couldn't resist the price...
