By now I already found and downloaded it.
The book is from the early fifties, if memory serves.

Start with Opening Principles:
1. Control the center.
2. Develop minor pieces toward the center.
3. Castle.
4. Connect your rooks.
This way when you decide on what openings to tech them, they will have an idea "why" each move is made.
Connect your rooks?They'll start playing h4-Rh3-a4-Ra3.

Well, you say that the second diagram isn't connecting the Rooks, but I beg to differ...

And this is why we have chaos in the world, and the price of fruits and vegetables keep going up.

Halp? That word sounds strange to me. Could you spell it?
A chess.com member that shall remain nameless...but IF we were to make up a name...we would call them "ChessOath" Needer further explaination as to why this is NOT "connecting your rooks"
The reason this is not considered connecting your rooks is because...well ill be! They are connected...nevermind.

Wait... You're admitting that you were wrong... Hmm... Feels like a trap... This never happens, I don't know what to do!
I guess I'll just subtly avoid responding by apologising to the OP for helping in derailing his thread and hope that nobody notices...
Sorry OP.
I think I got away with it...
Go ahead.

I once had a book by Chernev - the best 1000 miniatures in chess.
It is the same idea as "catastrophe in the opening" - with witty remarks by the author.
I read this book in 2010 - not all of it, but I studied the first 150 examples, and then probably another hundred without specific order.
One thing it did to me, it sharpened considerably my sense of when someone goes wrong in the opening, and how severely and how quickly they can be punished.
I became very sharp in punishing bad opening play and started to play many brilliant miniatures against players of all levels (below 2300) as a direct result of having studied this book.
Probably more than learning specific opening variations, it's good to develop a sense for what is right and what is wrong in opening play. Studying these miniatures where things obviously went wrong for something, goes far in developing this sense.
