How about some Jeremy Silman books? I don't have any, but I hear he has some great strategy books.

If no one else comes up with something I'll get one of them happy.png Rather spend my money on a specific book someone recommends

Also, there is a helpful strategy lesson pack on chess.com s old lessons with 300 exercises to help you learn more. I did it, and it helped me out.

Logical chess move by move by Chernev is the best for lowish ratings I think. Some people say the games are really old fashioned etc but the ideas are still very useful.
