I know you ment to say " complement " and yes, there are books that complete the previous ones and even try to make them more perfect.
They supply what is lacking in another book or publish what is needed for completion ( in the ideas of the same or another writer ).
But : there is always a ( great ) space of time in between, and we know, ideas about chess change a lot ; in my youth I saw lots of books on e4 e5 f4, nowadays less important ; I even had a book on the Najdorf, a6 in the Sicilian, something "new "...
Botwinnik made me study the French, e4 e6, Fischer played c4 a lot ; I mean to say : multiple sides of a story, as you call it, are okay, but all are very personal for the writer and the reader.
So : research means looking for the history of a certain topic, as e.g. special end games and certain openings ( in my opinion ) , but nevertheless, worthwile ! Let's see what others say ! Ger.
As the title says...
Are their books out there written by same/different authors that happen to or purposefully compliment one another? In every major endeavor that a person can take, seeing multiple sides of a story, or having different takes on the same thing often leads to a more comprehensable outlook which can vastly improve the learning that is done.
There have been many posts regarding "what is the best book" and "Is [] any good?" and yet very little has been said, far as I have been able to find, regarding the compatibility of chess books in general.
Any comments? This could be a good topic to do a little research into.
EDIT: Didn't even notice I misspelled the title o.o
