The Innes book.

"Exotic aquarium fishes" by william T Innes. (preferably the yellow meta
frame edition, not the TFH version)

An english book, a big one, about 20 years old called something like
 
"Encyclopaedia of tropical fishes" by Derek Mcinnery (????)

The above is one of the better books, but I've never seen it for sale
anywhere; the library in my home town used to have it.

Anything by Axelrod, take with a pinch of salt.

Big books, with lots of text are usually better than the "how and why
wonder book of tropical fishkeeping" or the "Know your bettas"
which for me raised more questions than they answered.
