Thank you! Going to check some reviews about the book.
All the Novice Nook articles are available on-line at chesscafe.com. I used to visit the site years ago, when everything was free, but on checking just now I see that you need to subscribe to read (and download) most of the articles.
Still, at $25 for a year it is good value. Not only do you get all of Novice Nook but also hundreds of other instructive articles
Link to the Chess Cafe articles archive. It's free. As I have never subscribed to ChessCafe.com I don't know if the archive is being updated with content since the site was last free, several years ago (as mentioned, the site now requires a subscription).

It is not updated, but the first 10 years or so of this monthly column are still available for free.
NM Dan Heisman's stuff is great. He also has a YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/c/danheismanchess), and a Twitter feed (https://twitter.com/danheisman). (And a website (https://www.danheisman.com/), and about a dozen books).
If it's a puzzle book, a physical board is good if you are going to play OTB. I personally use lichess study so I can calculate the variations and have them saved somewhere to double check my work.
For opening books, even though a lot of top players here will tell you to not read, I find some of them very helpful. Nikolaos Ntirlis is a great author who tells you about the openings in a very simple approach and not go into some random variations like the Grandmaster Repertoire books. With any opening book, use Lichess study and put the lines in there. You can check out my 1.e4 e5 study for a reference as it is very useful to prepare for certain opponents with the database.
I even have chess studies for the Queen's Gambit, Indian Defenses, French Defense, and Semi-Slav .You need any help with your studies, feel free to DM or ask in chat

Hey! I've been playing chess for years and had to put it down...... Then resently I picked it up again..... I've been trying to regain my old skills with chess and my advice to new players is 1. Chess mainly is built around your memory.... It will be hard to play if you can't picture moves in your head so you practice on a physical board to teach yourself e2 - e4, e7 - e5..... 2. Chess is built around your problem solving skills...... Chess.com has lots of puzzles but they don't tell you if they are material or checkmate puzzles... You have to figure that out yourself so my advice is to start hunting down all those puzzles less ambiguous or find a social circle that plays chess puzzles, regular chess club should do.... 3. Chess is also a sport of equals... Both sides have 16 pieces but the one who uses them better wins... That doesn't mean you copy your opponents moves but it does mean what works on you works on everyone....... Right?
