Good differential equation textbooks?

[battousai]

something that's more than a cookbook giving you recipes for solving de's but rather one that goes into theory would be nice

Arnold's book has a good reputation.

If you want a nice mix of theory and problem solving, I personally have enjoyed Ross's differential equations book. This is not an advanced text though.
