I'm not sure what a picture of some books is supposed to mean. The Fischer book deals with one aspect only - checkmates. Logical Chess gives reasons why moves are good and bad, and covers whole games instead of one aspect. I learned a lot from both, but overall I would probably go with Logical Chess. I don't know the other book.

Logical chess move by move. 

Bobby Fischer teaches chess wasn't even written by Fischer.  He agreed to have his name on the book because he was paid.  I'm not saying it isn't a good book.  I think Chernev's is a much more well rounded book.

Thanks IMBacon for that that has really helped me make up my mind any other suggestion if I had to buy one more which would compliment logical chess move by move

I don’t know about the other two books, but I would not recommend getting ‘Bobby Fischer teaches chess’ for an 1100. It is very beginner. (Actually it was the first chess book I ever read when I was rated like 550 and it was good then.) Like I said, I don’t know about the other two books, but if you haven’t read it I recommend Silmans ‘reassess your chess’ for an 110”

Logical chess move by move will give you a solid foundation on openings.

You have a choice on endgame books:

Silmans Complete Endgame Course.

Jose de la Villa's 100 Endgames You Must Know.

You cant go wrong with either one.

Discovering Chess Openings: Building Opening Skills from Basic Principles
By John Emms.

Emms book will give you a very good idea of opening principles, and what the opening is all about.

I would have said just the opposite - you have to be able to get to the endgame or at least the late middle game without blundering for Bobby Fisher Teaches Chess to help you win.
