Re: best beginner chess books and developing chess books
Of the Silman books, if I had to recommend one, I'd go with The Amateur's Mind. It's a great look at how to think about the game of chess, and is probably suitable for anyone over 1200 rating of so. But as lain21us said, most of his stuff is for more advanced players, such as Reassess Your Chess (which is also an excellent book).
