    This is one of the best books on checkmate on the market. I love how the book is broken down, that is chapters focusing on a certain mating theme for example Anastasia's mate. Each chapter starts with a simple diagram of the mating pattern, then includes some games from master level and ends with some puzzles to test your knowledge. Great!
