Could anyone possibly recommend a fully illustrated, 'second' chess book without notation that I could read on holiday? On the go without having to use my phone or a board to understand notation and follow the moves. Many thanks.

Polgar's Chess: 5334 Problems, Combinations and Games.Disclaimer: Probably doesn't fit into your suitcase.

What do you mean by ''fully illustrated" ?

As in shows chess pieces / diagrams for each move rather than strings of chess notation. If such a book exists! Thanks

Pandolfini has two books like this. I dont have them so I can't judge. Look up the reviews though.
