Bobby Fischer teaches chess. it is amazing. I don't know that it is quite what I think of as a book, but it is the only chess "book" I have ever enjoyed. you can find a pdf of it pretty easily or get the physical book like I have.

The Yusupov series of books seems to be pretty demanding, so I suggest that one look carefully at available samples and reviews before buying. If one does decide to go for it, one should probably know that the correct reading order is Build 1, Boost 1, Evolution 1, Exam 1, Build 2, Boost 2, Evolution 2, Build 3, Boost 3, Evolution 3.
