I may be high. . . I not telling. . . but Nabokov's use of words sparked my initial attraction to writing and lexiophilia.
"How To Cheat At Chess" by William Hartston. Classic!!

This fellow provided me with mine:
(I think he may have also designed my ensemble.)
Could please tell about Schiller? Unless you talk about Schiller the German poet I no hear of him in making chess book?
I think they are pertaining to FM Eric Schiller. I kinda like his books. But some guys here dont. Good point. Maybe someone could emphasize why he/she hated Schiller's books.

Use Google to find torrents for chess books and then use Bit Torrent and you will be able to find hundreds of free chess books.
I can honestly say Eric Schilller's books sucks big time. He just likes churning out as many books as possible. If you buy one of his opening books you won't learn a damn thing. Don't buy any of Eric Schiller's books. Silman is better.
1. How to Reassess your Chess - Jeremy Silman.
2. The Amateur's Mind - Jeremy Silman.
3. Silman's Complete Endgame Book - Jeremy Silman.
4. My System - Aron Nimzoswitch.
5. Winning Chess Tactics/Strategy/Openings - Yasser Seirawan.
6. A Guide to Chess Improvement: The Best of Novice Nook - Dan Heisman.
7. Any other book by Jeremy Silman.
'Nuff said

I have "Best Lessons of a Chess Coach" and enjoyed it since it told stories and examined games based on clever themes. Weeramantry wasn't only Nakamura's coach, he is also his step-father.
Yes, I wish Weeramantry had published more of his chess lessons in book form - they are very good.
Pandolfini's Ultimate Guide to Chess. Loved it, but still I have a lot to learn!
