Like Tom, I'm a fan of the Murach books - especially for getting up to speed on something new.
But as to "go to" books, any of the books from APress that include the word "Recipes" and "A problem-solution approach" I have found useful over and over again.
http://www.apress.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=recipes&submit=GoThe downloadable code samples are quite useful.
( a bit like Andy and Marcia's VFP 1001 things books in that there are lot of sections zeroing in a specific needs )

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
