I haven't read his other books, nor the one by Nunn, but I did borrow Logical Thinking a few times from the library, and thought it was pretty good.

Okay dude hoping to read your comment, I have the Nunn book too, I think it's good(though I only read a few pages of it)..

I like all of Nunn's game collections a bunch, but what Paul G said is the key. Turning the pages won't help you more than ~50pts if that. Maybe it helps with your pattern recognition a bit.
I really improved when I spent a lot of time on Soltis Pawn Structure Chess, Art of the Middle Game, and a few basic endgame books like Silman's.
I don't think I've ever really improved from studying any opening manual. Sub-2000, it's trivial to open a game and get a solid position on either side. Knowing 20 moves of the Scheveningen won't help you get better, trust me.
How you would compare this book by Mc Donald with his other works, and Nunn's Understanding Chess Move by Move. Do you like this book better by Mc Donald or the other ones are better? Thanks..
