It depends on what are you looking for. Technical information, combat service, photos, all in one... ?
From top of my mind:
For the development, the best option is probably the Panzertracts series.
Spielberger volumes have extremely technical info (almost for engineers!) but part of it may be outdated nowadays.
Wydawnictwo books have history on development, drawings, photos...
Pecko has wonderful photos with captions, but it is short on text.
Ampersand has also a mostly photo graphical volume on Panzer II
Achtung Panzer has good information on the distinct features of each variant, with plenty of drawings -but Japanese text, only captions are translated.
Apart from that, small introductory books like Squadron in Action, Waffen Arsenal or Osprey.

Looking into more photo's and colour profiles more than anything.
I know the internet has a wide variety of pictures but never quite find what i'm looking for
Thanks Carlos
