Can anyone please recommend a book that describes Affine Spaces and Affine Transformations? Many books i saw described it very briefly. Can anyone please suggest a book that deals with it in detail?
Thanks!

For the more geometrical concepts related to affine spaces, a good resource is Chapter 2 of Marcel Berger's Geometry I. (To get the most out of it, one should review Chapters 0 and 1 to make sure the concepts and terminologies used are familiar.)
You can read Jean Gallier's book Basics of Affine Geometry, which is available from Springer. Gallier also has some notes on this topic available for free download at ftp://ftp.cis.upenn.edu/pub/papers/gallier/geomath2.pdf and at http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~cis610/geombchap2.pdf.
