The Chess Beginner’s Bible

This book is wonderful to learn the fundamentals of the opening, the middle game and the endgame through games explained very clearly move-by-move.
It’s one of the most famous chess classics every written for a beginner player.
An excellent follow-up is the "Manual of Chess", in algebraic edition (ISBN-10: 188869050X) by Lasker.
Also, Chernev’s "The Russians Plays Chess (Dover)" is great.
Highly Recommended
