Endgame books?

I have terrible endgames and often lose in winning positions in the endgame. Is their any books you would recommend for a 1200?

Silman's Complete Endgame Course.  Even folks who don't like Silman's style will grudgingly admit it is pretty good.  Yeah, it's a bit intimidating at first glance with over 500 pages but it's designed to be taken a chapter at a time.  He first teaches everything a sub 1000 player should know and then gives you a test at the end of the chapter to see if you should move on.  Part two is for players 1000 to 1200 and follows the same format.  He continues in this way all the way up to master level.
