The one thing that I've found with some of these "fundamental" books is that there are gems of information that can be very helpful for specific problems.
For instance, Landau and Lifshitz's statistical mechanics book has first-rate description of entropy and multiplicity. And TAOCP has an incredibly thorough discussion of combinatorics that I found invaluable.
