Two books 'The Road to chess mastery' and 'Master v/s Amateru" by Marx Euwe and Walter Maiden (check spelling pl.)are very good for beginners to understand the ideas like strategy, tactics etc. If one goes through the 50 annotated games in the books includings analysis, surely they will find themselves improved; theoretically and playing strength wise.

It has a little on everything and is simply superb. If you are above 1200, and have really digested everything in Wolff's book, then it's probably time to get a more specialized book (endgame, etc) or play through heavily annotated master games (e.g., McDonald Chess the art of logical thinking or Chernev's Logical Chess). For strategy, many like Silman (though he has a new edition coming out at the end of this year which is supposed to be much improved: he has said he needs to fix lots of mistakes and is changing lots of the examples).

Only problem with books, is that I keep jumping from one book to another without ever completing one. I can’t afford a chess teacher, so I’ll have to say books.
