My most basic and most often referred to cookbook is the 
Fanny Farmer cookbook.  Her recipes aren't fancy but you
can find almost anything in there.  Beginners especially
would appreciate the definitions (what saute means, for 
example), substitution charts (how much cocoa equals how
much solid chocolate, etc.), and descriptions of techniques
(how to fold egg whites, etc.).  If you could only afford 
one cookbook, this would be the one to get.
