Can anyone recommend a good music theory book that covers almost everything.

Not really.
There are a number of good books out there that introduce music theory very well.
For example, the The Complete Idiot's Guide to Music Theory is an excellent introductory text. Beginners can also get a lot out of the Alfred Series But they are only introductions.
Once you get past the basics, music theory becomes a pretty big topic. If, for example, you're interested in the sub-subject of harmonic structures, you can get a 264 page bibliography on the subject! Or maybe you're just interested in Schenkerian analysis . . . in which case Amazon has over 150 in print titles to choose from!

Which, btw, is a great second theory book if you're looking for an introduction to the topic.
