Which Chess book should I get?

Sort:
Moonwarrior_1

This is my first book so I don’t want it to be 200 pages of end games... no offense but I don’t find that enjoyable so I need to force my self to do it, this book is for me to enjoy but learn a ton. Maybe middle game strategies?

throw out some names, nothing crazy expensive and something that I could order on Amazon (not to big either cuz I’ll be shipping it overseas)

A fun book I have is by Larry Evans called, "The 10 most common chess mistakes" I think.

Free download book How to Reassess Your Chess: Chess Mastery Through Chess  Imbalances

sndeww

recommendation: 

How to be a candidate master (Alex dunne)

despite being published in the 1980s it's very instructive. He devotes much more time than other books on the psychological aspects of chess. And yes, I have that book. In the introduction he says: "This is a book about winning." And it did win over me.
