You should definitely read Comprehensive Chess Course cover to cover. You can read the others cover to cover afterward if you want but you will see a lot of redundant information. You could shelve them and use them as resource book and read selectively as needed.

Hello. I recently decided to purchase some used chess books and work my way through them. I’m interested in improving but not intense about it, will be pretty casual.
I bought Comprehensive Chess Course vol 2, Chess Tactics for Students by Bain, Bobby Fischer Teaches chess. I also bought complete chess course, but may just donate that because it’s in descriptive notation and I already have these.
If I make it through these my ideas for next are Back to Basics Tactics, Logical Chess move by move, and Silmans Endgame Course. I also had my eye on the Steps Method, what I read seemed interesting and positive.
So my main question is should I work through one book at a time, cover to cover? If so which one to start with? Comprehensive Chess Course?
Or should I be dividing my time between them?
