Hey all . I’m Sure it’s been asked many times over , but what book would you good people recommend for a first timer … I’m rated around 1100 … I don’t know if a openings book would be best or puzzles (although I do puzzles online often ) . Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Yasser Seirawan's "Winning Chess" series is praised for being good for newer players
