Books are good as a secondary method of improving as a beginner but I am a big fan of having a study partner that is stronger rated. Talking out a live game to help me understand what went wrong while learning from the stronger player how to improve by studying the tactical idea(s) that I am lacking at. Join a local chess club or find a club here on chess.com and post in that club's forum for a "study partner". Someone usually will help out.
Simple Chess: A great explanation of strategy, making it very easy to understand. You have it on YT as well: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUrgfsyInqNbkyiwPSSBQ6ALkkccKItPE

It might be expensive but i prefer
“How To Win At Chess” by Levy Rozman, aka Gothamchess. Its a very new book and teaches you the highlights of chess, opening, (not too specific), middle game and ending. Hope that u improve soon!

Hello. As the title states, I'm a ~900 rated player and I would love some book recommendations to help me go from the beginner level to the intermediate level. All help is greatly appreciated.
Not that I work for chess.com, but I recommend you pay for a monthly account and try the lessons. Very good at lower levels, and probably better than a book
In my opinion, a book that can still help you develop your game by understanding how a strong player thinks is "My 60 memorable games" by Bobby Fischer. Today you should also find it easily used or in the library. Let me tell you that if there is it's a good player inside you, with this book it will come out!
I think books are a great way to learn. They are much better than playing bullet or rapid against other low-rated players.
I strongly recommend:
irving Chernev’s Logical Chess Move by Move, The Most Instructive Games of Chess Ever Played, and Practical Chess Endings.
Fred Reinfelds’s Complete Chess Course.
Reuben Fine’s Lessons from My Games .
i disagree with the earlier recommendation of Fischer’s My 60 Memorable Games. It is a great book, but is aimed at players who are at least 1800 .
