If you only bought one cookbook in your entire life ...

you should seriously consider this one. I used to be a personal chef and culinary instructor. Without a doubt, the number one book I'd recommend for a new cook is How to Cook Without a Book: Recipes and Techniques Every Cook Should Know by Heart.

It's perfect for the new, inexperienced cook, or for the more experienced hobby cook. It is the cookbook even I most freqently turn to myself - not because I need to know HOW to cook at this point, but because it is set up to thoroughly explain and teach a cooking method then gives multiple variations on a theme. Just learning the chapter on sautés and pan sauces will give you something like 60 different dinner ideas once you try every different type sauce idea with every type of meat/poulty/chicken. Check it out!!!
