as gilligan841 said above yt is great, many content creators with lots of videos about traps and other lines. but if you really want to study i'd recommend fundamental chess openings by paul van der sterren (https://shorturl.at/5xXGu) but is quite dense. is there a specific opening you want to learn?

I would recommend STRATEGIC CHESS by EDMAR MEDNIS for queen pawn games (closed games).

It's an old classic and reasonably priced being a Dover publication.

Just my two cents...

Check out “Hanging Pawns” on YouTube. It is a wonderful youtube channel with lots and lots of useful videos about openings. You can binge watch them, and then decide for yourself which openings you are interested in trying out. Highly recommended. And it’s free!! You can waste a lot of money buying countless opening books, many of which you’ll never finish or remember.

For many, I think that Discovering Chess Openings would be a good choice. However, some may already know much of what is covered. For anyone who is wondering about the book, I would suggest looking at an online sample.
