I am really curious to read more on Shashin's work.

Old...but not forgotten: "Simple chess" by GM Michael Stean

Originally published in 1978, this is a magnificent basic middle game treatise! Almost everyhing a player rated between 1400 - 1700 needs to know about strategic chess: Outposts, weak pawns, open files, half open file & the minority attack, Black squares & white squares. All these subjects packed in 176 pages! But beware, this new algebraic edition has a weak point: a few typos. Here's a list of them as highlighted by a Amazon's reviewer. See all Amazon's reviews here
Highly instructive and therefore recommended to the improving player.

Old but..not forgotten "My best games of chess" by S. G. Tartakower

 About 450 pages!!
 Wikipedia's Link: Savielly Tartakower
See Amazon's Readers Reviews
While reading this book, I was with Tartakower in the early 20th century smoky tournament halls. I also admired his great variety of openings: from 1.b4 to 1.e4 e5 2.f4 exf4 3.Be2!? & 1.e4 c5 2.b4  and many others.
I love this excellent book. Period.
