Hello everybody, 

In my search for a good opening I liked playing the London the most. I think its a very decent opening and I was wondering what is the best book on the London?

Winning with the Modern London System 1+2 by Nikola Sedlak

I am not a London specialist, but I own and have really enjoyed "The Agile London System" by Romero and De Prado. It is a book based on complete games, rather than simply an openings manual showing variations. This means that you can see how the middlegame and the endgame arise out of the typical opening variations, which is very useful. For example, one characteristic theme is the London bishop controlling the b8 square, while White plays b2-b4-b5xc6 opening the b file, then the London bishop prevents Black from contesting the b-file with Rb8. If you only look at the first 15 moves, then it's not so easy to see how strong White's position is. But look at a complete game by Kamsky (for example) and he shows you how to exploit the advantage.
