It’s not a book but I like Susan Polgars 5 basic chess opening principles: https://www.ichess.net/blog/opening-principles-chess/

Lasker in "Common Sense in Chess" formulated 4 opening principles:
- Only play your d- and e-pawns
- Play your knights before you play your bishops
- Do not play the same piece twice
- Do not pin the KN with your QB before the opponent has castled O-O
The conventional wisdom seems to be that newer players should not focus on specific openings, but just on opening principles. That makes sense to me. One challenge I see is that there are not many books on opening principles. I'm currently reading through John Emms - Discovering Chess Openings. Any other recommendations? Thanks!
