I'm looking to buy my first book about chees and to be honest I do not know what I should get and I would like to know if you guys have any recommendations for a beginner like me my rating is 1250-1300

Logical Chess Move by Move by Chernev

Tactics, tactics, tactics. Practice them first. Find an opening you feel comfortable with and work on them. Know the basic endgames and then make a study of King & Pawn vs King endgames. This should get you going in a solid direction.

Look into the Comprehensive Chess Course by Lev Albert.

I agree, tactics is what you will need to study first. I recommend Predator at the Chessboard. Ward Farnsworth explains what you need to know with words and not notation. It will really help you learn and enjoy the game of chess.

I own Logical Chess Move by Move and it is an excellent book, but I believe it should be your second book.

first of all you should learn only 1 opening as white you are familiar with as white ... i would recomment e4 opening... because its the best opening for beginners. So first you should devote 5 to 7 days on openings. i would recomment to read a book named 

Action Chess: Purdy's 24 Hours Opening Repertoire

...

search it on amazon. i would recomment not to buy it buy download an ebook from 

http://library.nu/docs/G6ABJ8V57H/Action%20Chess:%20Purdy%26%23039;s%2024%20Hours%20Opening%20Repertoire

..

then after have read this book i would recommend to buy a book named "the amateur mind" by Jeremy silman. it is the best book for people of rating 1200 - 1800. This book will improve ur tactics, planning and strategy. this book is worth its price. Completing this book may take you 1 month or so but ur rating will be jumped by 300 points ( my personal expericence) . After that you should again study that opening book i recommended and see u will play like a 1700 rated player in 2 months or so ... and also remember to play atleast 1 game per day and dont play blitz game .. the best would be 10 minute game. After you have done this you can then start any classic book like "my System" or "the art of attack in chess". Hope this helps you

thanks 

i am sorry but this book may be hard to understand for a 1300 rated player. this may be started for a person of rating 1400.

Pandolfini's Ultimate Guide to Chess

 I'm sorry, but I don't understand how you could say this about Logical Chess Move by Move yet recomend he study openings and Silman.  Considering how much time he spends explaining how 1. e4 is a great move, I don't know how anyone could get the impression that this book is for people over 1400.  Honestly, Logical Chess Move by Move is a great first book, but be careful when you study it.  Don't waste time analyzing, just play through to get the basic ideas he is trying to promote, such as king safety and piece development.  Once you have gone through the book, I would recomend a tactics book, because until you can master tactics all the planning and strategy in the world won't help you when you lose your queen to a knight fork or pin combination.  Definetly do not waste time studying an opening right now, just follow the basic principals such as only move each piece once in the opening unless there is a tactic and castle early, things Logical Chess Move by Move will drill into your head.  It would be much more gianful to spend your time on tactics, basic endgames, and playing games.  Also, definetly play long time controls, but 10 minutes per side is not a long time control, that still easily fits in the blitz catagory.  Play at least 30 minutes per side, preferebly with an increment so you don't end up rushed n the end game.  I recomend 45 minute games with a 45 second increment, this gives you a solid two to two and a half hour game to properly plan your moves and think through your game. Back to your original question, two books I would recomend are Logical Chess Move by Move by Irving Chernov and Chess Tactics for Students by John Bain.

He says he's a beginner and you want him to study chess tactics. Why not look into books that teach you how to play chess. Most people don't take up chess because they see all this complexity where it really isn't there.

Have fun and play the basics.

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do not get that Purdy book. He was a great writer, but this opening repertoire is just wrong for improving players. I read that book and followed his repertoire back when I was rated 1400 USCF. The end result is that I stayed 1400 for over a year. Playing such an unaggressive opening repertoire stifled my development.

Play 1. e4 e5 from both sides, and don't worry if you lose a few games because you walk into some opening traps. The big game-losing mistakes in the opening are easier to learn from and avoid repeating next time than if you lose a long, positional struggle and don't understand why you lost.
