Betty Crocker's. I have my mom's that was probably published in the late 50s-early 60s. I will use Allrecipes.com for finding new recipes any more.
Definitely Mark Bittman (How to Cook Everything, The Best Recipes in the World), Madhur Jaffrey's World Vegetarian and any of the Cook's Illustrated series. I have ones I turn to for specific cuisines, eg. Feast of Santa Fe for New Mexican.
I use my Better Homes New Cook Book the most, with a smattering of New Basics and Joy where it lacks.
Actually the one I use the most is unpublished, and would be the one I made up of all of my mother's and grandmother's recipes. It's all downhome cooking and that is what my family likes the best.
Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook by Beth Hensperger. Every single recipe in it is delicious. I've been slowly working my way through the whole book.

I have sooo many recipes on my computer. I have put together two cookbooks from them that have been wedding/birthday presents for several years. At first I thought I was being a little tacky, but I have had people beg me for one now. And they are definitelty the ones most used at my house.
Oh I plan on making books like that for my children! I have all the originals in my book, so I was planning on typing them all out, and making like a scrapbook with recipes and pics of the people who actually owned the recipes and give them to the kids for christmas presents!
I'm a little late to the discussion huh?My Joy of Cooking cookbook is a great source of basic techniques that I am able to apply to the many meal ideas I get from reading recipes online and watching the Food Network.
I found a blueberry cupcake recipe at cooks.com that exploded in my oven and since then I double check ratios etc. from recipes online against my Joy of Cooking. The Joy of Cooking All about cookies it my favorite cookie cookbook too.
