Read my comments on Lev Alburt's "Comprehensive Chess Course" here...

then compare that to my comments on Jeremy Silman's "How To Reassess Your Chess" here...
Good Chess Books for Beginners and Beyond...

The books are intended for two entirely different audiences. Lev Alburt's course is an introductory chess course intended for beginner-novice players, up to about 1500 Elo. Silman's book is targeted to experienced, intermediate-expert level (1500+ Elo) players.
How does his book of strategy compare to Silman's Reassess Your Chess?
