This is the chess book I have used the most! Lots of usefull info for almost all categories of players. The thing I like the most is the short presentations of a lot of openings. Perfect stuff if you want just a little more than the first few standard moves. The author will give you: The standard moves, some opinions, an example game or two and maybe even a trap. (
