I've used a few books for fluid mechanics and I think this one is the best by far;

Fluid Mechanics; White - 6th Edition

https://www.amazon.com/dp/0073309206/?tag=pfamazon01-20

It's up to date, covers all the basics, and also doesn't have any practice problems that require asinine tricks to solve them.
