What Are the Best Fluid Mechanics Textbooks for Self-Study?

[Joshua warhaft]

Hello! My name is Josh Currently going into third year physics. My university does not offer a single course involving fluids except the most basic intro to bernoulli's equation. So, I thought I would make it my own project for the summer to learn some fundamentals.

I was wondering if anyone could recommend some textbooks preferably with a students solution manual that I may learn from. I was looking at fundamentals of fluid mechanics by Rothmayer and Munson however, not sure if this is a "good" book on the subject. I am not terribly worried about the math or if it is more of an engineering text; I could use some practice with that as well.

Thank you! Any help will be welcomed!
