What cookbook would you have to have if you only could have one?

I'm going to agree with the others that the "old" Joy of Cooking is the best. Mine's falling apart now, but it's the one I return to again and again.

I happened to get one of my daughters the "revised" Joy of Cooking and it's just not the same. Some of the best recipes and information are missing.

Some of the recipes worth the price of the book:

Chili con carne
peanut butter cookies
Hollaindaise sauce
