For Italian, I would recommend "The Frugal Gourmet Cooks Italian" by the late Jeff Smith. Wonderful book - four hundred something authentic and old world recipes all adapted for the American kitchen, history & cooking techniques. I've been using my copy since it was first released about 20 years ago now. I'm pretty sure it's long since out of print, so, if you buy, I would recommend the hardcover version, over the paperback, as the paperbacks are probably falling apart at this point.

This is one of my favorites. I use the encyclopedia of Italian cooking a lot too(will look up the info when I get home).

I also like magazines. They have tested recipes with details on technique, plus shiny pictures.
