Need Advice on Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics Textbook

In summary, the conversation is about the best option for a beginner's textbook on Fluid Mechanics. The two options mentioned are both highly rated on Amazon and the person is confused about which one to choose. They also mention a previous textbook they have used and some solution manuals available online. Another suggestion is made for a textbook by a professor from TU Darmstadt, known for their excellent lectures.

I learned on Fox and McDonald's Introduction to Fluid Mechanics (~900 pages), there are a few solution manuals available online for you to knock yourself out (1,400 to 2,200 pages of resolved problems).

Since it was asked for an engineering book, I've not responded yet, because I don't know any engineering fluid-mechanics textbooks. There is, however, one from a professor of TU Darmstadt, I've heard lectures from when I was studying there, and he was professor in the engineering department. Since the lectures were excellent, I guess also his book must be very good.
