I have a variety of cookbooks, but the one I use most often is my good ol' Betty Crocker. It has all the standard recipes and basics. I also use the internet if I'm looking for a specific recipe. I just google what I'm looking for.

Seriously; I don't own any cookbooks and don't see any reason to. I never follow recipes anyway, I just try to find some sources that don't appear to be written by idiots, take what I like from them and try it out.

My favorite too. I have an old one. I like the church cookbooks. I also collect old cookbooks and pamplets. I like the old ones from Jello and Hersheys etc. I think I have about 400 .
I have a cookbook that I purchased from a local church fundraiser filled with recipes from the church members. There are some really good old recipes that are my family's most favorite.
My favorite cookbooks are the Farm Journal cookbooks because they use natural ingredients that come from the farm.
You can get good recipes from most any product by using the company website. Tyson chicken has many really good recipes. That's just one example. No company is going to give a bad recipe for their product. They want the recipes to be really good.
Thank you everyone for all the responses. Now it's time to go shopping.
