Favourite (or best) era for Chess literature.

I would be interested to know how many people like modern chess books or media, compared to the older stuff.

I ask because recently on this forum I was recommended Richard Reti's Masters of the Chessboard (published 1933), which I have to say I very much like the style and coverage, I know to fully take it in will be months...if not years, but I like the style and tone in which it is written and the ideas are quite consumable for me even at my moderate level. Also I am going through a book by Siegbert Tarrasch (German edition published 1931), he writes in an engaging style, and has good coverage of the end game, which I am sure will never go out of date, and thirdly I have a book covering openings by Znosko-Borovsky (published 1935) - you see the connection here! Was there something about the chess or the players of that particular era that made them good teachers?

I do also have books by Silman, and I like to watch some of the chess youtubers...so I am not fully living in the past; I do just find it interesting that the three main texts I am using at the moment are all from the 1930s!

Books from the  50's are my favorite.  I much prefer human analysis over everything being engine checked.
