My recommendation for beginner-novice:
Pandolfini's Endgame Course: Basic Endgame Concepts Explained by America's Leading Chess Teacher
By Bruce Pandolfini. A popular introductory endgame book for the beginner-novice, covering endgame basics, in an easy to use format - one lesson per page. Recommended despite the occurrence of occasional typos which minimally detract from its overall instructive value. For book errata see
http://www.glennwilson.com/chess/books/pec_errata.html#end37
For additional, in-depth treatment of fundamental endgame principles see "Endgame Workshop", also by Bruce Pandolfini. In fact, it would be a good idea to study both of these endgame books together, as they more complement/supplement, than duplicate, each other.

I'd recommend Averbach's book, which is an all-time classic
Averbakh's book is a good one...
"Chess Endings: Essential Knowledge" by Yuri Averbakh...
Go for Fundamental Chess Endings by Muller.

Averbach's book is great, and it's really neat that he is still around, the only surviving player from the famous 1953 Zurich tournament. But to be honest, any of those books will greatly increase your endgame skill if you really read it and go over all the examples. And no book will help if you don't
I'm not sure that this is a true statement. Isn't Mark Taimanov still alive? Age 90 I believe?
At least Wikipedia claims he is!
