I liked this one:
Essential Tactics: Building a Foundation for Chess Skill
The author (James Stripes) has pretty clear writing skills and presents his stuff in a straightforward manner.
He just released another book that is in my cart but not yet purchased:
Five Days to Better Chess: Essential Tools
Looking forward to reading that one also.
The Exchange Sacrifice by sergey kasparov.

"Chess Structures: A Grandmaster Guide" by Mauricio Flores Rios, published in 2015, is one of the best chess books I've ever studied. It clearly presents the basic plans for both sides in common middle game structures, illustrated by well annotated GM games.
GM Flores is reportedly working on a second volume covering additional structures, which I will buy as soon as it comes out. However, he is working on obtaining his Ph.D. in mathematics, so completion of that book could be delayed a while.

Is Jay Bonin somebody well-known in american chess circles?
From what i heard, he is popular at US chess circuit. He is a legend in US chess circuit and a good coach.
Bonin is one of the top 10 players at the Marshall Chess Club in New York City. Perhaps not as well known as Leonid Yudasin, Michael Rohde or Mark Paragua, but he is quite active.
