Which videos offer something special?

Oh yeah!
same question from my side to Master pfren.
(which videos/ books/ other contents...)
I purchased the Club Players Manifiesto and I was disappointed by the low quality of the material. As it seems to be the case with other DVDs by GM Damian Lemos; you notice that there was little or no preparation before siting in from of his PC to record the video.
I'm a big fan of his videos, personally, and I've gone as far as purchasing one of his iChess bundles. I'm no IM, but I like the way he explains things and feel its well suited to my skill level. I've watched many hours of his videos and have watched quite a few of them multiple times.
At the end of the day it's about personal preferences and what style works for you. With decently long sample videos and also free YouTube content you can get a good idea as to whether you will like it or not before committing any money. Given how many hours of study I'm getting out of it, I feel like the bundle I purchased was a pretty great bargain.
I suggest you get Understanding Chess Middle Games by Nunn.
