There are quite a few, and to pick the best would not be easy, there are several commentaries that come to mind, Matthew Henry, Jamison Fausset Brown. Strongs concordance looking at the original Hebrew and Greek.
In more modern times there are a series of three volumes by RT Kendall called Understanding Theology which although it sounds a bit heavy is actually very easy to read and follow.
As I said there are many I have a book called studies on the sermon on the mount by Martin Lloyd-Jones which is probably bigger in size than the Bible yet is only a study of one chapter...

The Bible explans itself, to those who positioned forth sufficient own attempt, have the right attitude, and the guidence of God's Holy Spirit and earthly corporation. An social gathering of ways we are able to can locate such rationalization is that this verse in Revelation: (Revelation 21:a million) 21 and that i observed a clean heaven and a clean earth; for the former heaven and the former earth had gave up the ghost, and the sea is not any more advantageous. For an evidence we are able to seem at those 2 verses: (Isaiah fifty seven:20) “notwithstanding the depraved are in simple terms like the sea that's being tossed, even as that is unable to sit back down, the waters of which keep tossing up seaweed and mire. (Revelation 17:15) And he says to me: “The waters that you observed, the position the harlot is sitting, mean peoples and crowds and international locations and tongues.

"Best" is an extremely fuzzy word.
From the perspective of humanistic atheism: Isaac Asimov's _Guide to the Bible_ .
From the perspective of Orthodox Judaism: _Stone Edition Tanakh_.
From the perspective of Reformation Protestant Christianity, Luther's _Commentary_.
From the perspective of the Holy Roman Catholic Church: _The Catholic Encyclopaedia_
For Orthodox Christianity, _The Philokalia_.
For contemporary Christianity, it all depends upon your theological POV.
Gordon Fee & Douglas Stuart: _How to Read the Bible for all its Worth_ (Zondervan 1982 ISBN 0-310-37361-1 (ISBN from my copy,not Amazon's data. Itprobalby has a different ISBN now.) ) is probably the "best" text on how to and what tools you will need.for Bible Study.

The General Introduction to the Bible by Norman Geisler is good for understanding how we got the Bible we have today. It deals with manuscripts, transmission, canonization, etc. It is more of a reference book.

Wycliffe and Matthew Henry both are good commentaries on the Bible.
