I am looking for a good book that covers many aspects of cardiology; not just the physiology. A level of difficulty of about undergraduate level would be appreciated. I'd rather not have a book that is too "textbook-like"; that is, without the colourful drawings that explain nothing.
Thanks.

Sorry, I meant not just the anatomy. And I also meant I'd rather not have the pictures that explain nothing.

The Cardiovascular System at a Glance (Aaronson & Ward) is great for an overview, and not tect-book like at all (it's thin, manageable sized book). For more detail, An Introduction to Cardiovascular Physiology (JR Levick) covers the physiology better. For good all round info, Swanton's Cardiology is highly recommended.

A great starter book to cardiology would be "Heart physiology: from cell to circulation" edited by LH Opie. Last published in 2004, it is a very up to date and easy to read text that covers just about everything. Each chapter is co-authored by some of the big names in Cardiac research (such as Dr. Bers for Calcium handling, and Dr Solaro for myofilament dynamics). I have made great use of this book in researching and writing my master's thesis.
I'm not sure what you mean by "not just the physiology", but it contains structural information, disease states, neural/hormonal regulation, etc. But in general sense, that's all physiology too.
And yes... there are pictures.
