The sexist cover alone makes this book a collector’s item: it is wrong in so many ways. Nevertheless, I gained a couple of hundred elo points by analyzing the positions that are in it. If you are relatively new to chess, studying tactics will pay off big time.

Reassess Your Chess and Amateur Chess by Jeremy Silman are both great
I would add pawn power in chess
On introduction, I recommend
Chess Course by Praful Zaveri
Bobby Fisher Teaches Chess is pretty good.
Agree, it's pretty good.
Not a theoretical piece but some prose suggestion. As a chess player myself I absolutely adored Chess: A Novella by Stefan Zweig.
