It really depends on what type books you want. Most of the books out dealing with fishkeeping are rather outdated and have information that isn't the best. A lot has changed in the last 10 years. I would look for books with a recent copyright date.
I agree with rdd,
if you are more specific, you can get better recommendations. Are you looking for lists/encyclopedias of fish? Fish behavior? Books on specific fish/families? Books on planted tanks/aquatic plants? Books on health? And, at what level/difficulty? Because there are some very good (and recent!) university texts that has some very in depth information, but if you don't have the background or desire to work through a textbook, then you shouldn't waste your money on it.

I know they're quite cheesy but the 'What' books (What marine invertebrate etc) can make interesting reading
