Spaniard here. I can tell you that everyone in Spain has this book: http://www.amazon.com/1080-Recipes-Simone-Ortega/dp/0714848360/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1425910272&sr=8-1&keywords=1080+recipes
I am not sure if the translation is any good, but that's what I'd call the "bible" of spanish food. Shit loads of recipes, anything you can imagine it is in there, and very authentic.
Not a book but, if you understand spanish: http://javirecetas.hola.com/ this guy has some seriously nice stuff.
In terms of personal experience, my mother has referred to the original Spanish version of this book ever since I could remember. The amount of recipes can't be beat and it can be found in most Spanish homes. If you need it in English, there's some used copies there for about $5. She also released this book on tapas but I can't personally comment on how good it is; if it's anything like the '1080 Recetas...' then it should be a good purchase as well.
Also have a look through this list, there might be some others you find interesting; the first choice looks like a decent book on basics. I actually borrowed José Andrés' Tapas: A Taste of Spain in America book from my chef last night and though I haven't been able to give it a proper read, I saw a bunch of delicious-sounding recipes just thumbing through the pages.
