@RJblue it would help if you told what you're looking for. If you have a chess hero, buy a games collection of his/hers. I, for example, have always admired Paul Keres and everything he's ever written is good stuff.
#11 yeah, this. If you just ask the same people the same question in even more general terms then you're likely to get even more unhelpful answers.
#9 LolaIce - many thanks for this link. I recently generated a list of 24 books I am hoping to go through in pursuit of improvement, and several of them can be found via your link. You helped me save a bunch of $$.

No chess book is better.
I am surprised that style is not duplicated.
it has been duplicated. And I dont think it is very good book but load of people like it

that is rather similar book with vastly stronger author. If that matter, dunno...
Why would you pay $24 USD for this book?
Here are 4 books by John Nunn FREE for downloading.
