Not really a matter of "best", most like "only" books. :)
Here are the four main ones I know of:

1. Linke and Staek, Dwarf Cichlids, Tetra Press.
	Widely available, fairly accurate, good pictures

2. Aqualog "South American Book"
	Notso widely available, lots of pictures, some inaccuracies

3. Koslowski
	Out of print, older, detail on evolution to current complexes (?)
	In German only, though Mike Wise has a translation (if you have
	a real copy of the book)

4. Schmettkamp
	Out of print, in German only, Mike Wise has a translation (same as
	Koslowski).  Older book, kind of like Linke and Staek.

In addition, back issues of the Apistogram (if you can get them),
occasional articles in Bartbunsche bulletin (ACA), PCCA's Journal, Cichlid
News... I have heard rumors of an Uwe Romer book to be published sometime
too.
