Chess Books

It occurred to me that since I have been specializing on books about chess and that I have a good number available for folks at reasonable prices that it would make sense for me to list them for people. My own experience with chess is that I start out good However, as the game progresses toward stalemate I subconsciously sabotage myself just to put an end to it. I know some of you out there really love the game. If I could find an accessible book about how to close a game I might derive more enjoyment out of, if not winning, at least understanding what was going on while I lost.
Anyway, what follows is a list of the various books I have available on the game.
