my new chess book

My rule is a silman book cant be a bad book so today i went to barnes and nobels and picked up a copy of the complete book of chess strategy by silman is it a good one?

I did not care for it because I found Silman to be uncongenial as a writer to me. Different strokes of course and 'your mileage may vary'. I have to be careful about buying or choosing to borrow chess books. There are so many that you are going to have your choice of hundreds and naturally some of these are going to be your cup of tea and some not, with a goodly number in between.

I tried Silman but it wasn't a good match for me. It also depends very, very much upon where you are in your Chess life. Silman seems better for the more advanced intermediate type of players. Whereas for someone like me I am still studying and getting alot out of Irving Chernev's wonderful book, Logical Chess: Move by Move.

i still need to get  logiacal chess isnt a free download

Well I don't "do" downloads of books. I still like books that are, you know, like on PAPER? You say you went to B & N to buy Silman. I assume that was a paper book? Chernev's book is not expensive and is available for not too much moola used on Amazon.

yes it is a paper book i need to sit down and read it i always find myself playing more than i am studying lol i just heard from IM prefn its free on google for download so i dont think it is illegal but it  would be nicer to have a  paper version
