Gooseberry Patch are great books.  You can build a library around those.  They're like tried and true recipes.  Taste of Home has a lot of good ones too.

Mark Bittman's "How to Cook Everything" and "How to Cook Everything: The Basics" might be good choices. The ATK tome already recommended is great, but might seem overwhelming to a new cook.
