Recommended Books:-
1) CHESS TRAPS by I.A. Horowitz and Fred Reinfeld
2) WINNING CHESS by Irving Chernev and Fred Reinfeld
These 2 books are extremely useful as it teaches how to set pitfalls and swindles and also how to avoid them ; plus how to see 3 moves ahead.
Happy reading and learning.
Well.. Here are all the books I got. I thought they were pretty good.
How To Defend in Chess - Colin Crouch
Attacking Manual 1 - Jacob Aagaard
Because hey... You've gotta learn the basics first right?
Next I'd reccomend: "My System by Aron Nimzovitch" It teaches positional play.
And finally, Amateur's Mind by Jeremy Silman. I haven't read it yet, but whenever i ask what book to get on this site that one always comes up.
Best of luck!
How to Reassess Your Chess 4th edition by Jeremy Silman. Teaches positional play and themes from the opening and endgame too.
I eagerly await your advice!
Keeno!! 
Use your public library first. Save a lot of money if you buy something we recommend and it doesn't help you....
Yes aww-rats, but sometimes libraries dont stock all books ever published..

in my city library you can ask for any book you want and they'll order it, if they don't have it stocked
Simple Chess by Michael Stean (not the newer, same titled one, by John Emms).
yup this book is great. i'd recommend practical chess endings by paul keres for end game stuff.
Alot of people have recommended books that are way beyond your skill level. Just start with Logical chess move by move.

I didn't mean this as any disrespect. But trying to read Attacking Manual 1 by Jacob Aagard or How to defend in Chess by Crouch are fairly difficult books. No point in reading Reassess Your Chess when people don't fully grasp the basics yet, reading Chess traps by Horowitz is silly as we are told not to study traps in the openings if we want to improve. Simple Chess by Stean as was suggested is a good book.
I am currently interested in buying a chess book and would appreciate any help! My BCF grade is probably about 75 at the moment and my elo rating is low 1300s. The criteria for the book would be:
I would like it to have chess puzzles/diagrams and be available in the UK.
Thank You for any input, I eagerly await your advice!
