A nice basic run down of beginner chess strategy
It’s good to find a book that you can have as a reference that lays out all the main strategies for openings, middle game, and endgame. Easy to read and keep game-side while you learn.

A solid intro to the game
This is an accessible introduction to a classic game. It explains the pieces and moves, but also opening, mid, and end game basic tactics. You'll learn what the ratings system does, and different types of gameplay styles. A worthy reference.
