I want to start keeping fish. So I want a book to advise me on all things fish!! I intend on getting a large tank and maybe one of those biorb ones too. The large one will be one of those with cabinet under it if you know what I mean. Also I live in a very warm country (not Hungary) average temperatures ate 35 deg. Would this affect fish in any way. Some help would be much appreciated! Thanks

I have looked on Amazon and can't decide which would be best.
It needs to contain advice such as:
What kind of tank
What type of fish
How Many fish
How to clean the tank
What to feed them.
Thanks again

You can search for them in the internet, and I am sure you would get them.

The best book to have on hand is the Fishkeepers Bible. Most book stores sell it and it beats all the others hands down. It is updated every other year and can be purchased with loose leaf pages. you can get on the mailing list so when updates come in you can just replace them. No need for any other books

Aquariums for Dummies is a fine book to start with.

The Complete Encyclopedia of the Freshwater Aquarium.
I got it from my library and it really helped me out.

I would suggest you start with one of these two. Then once you have a good idea of how aquariums work and what you may want to keep, then move on to a book about the kind of fish you would like to keep. That way you can get general information and information targeted to your fish.
