The chess inspector by Harvey Stein. Very rare though.
Can anyone suggest me some good books on chess strategy?

I've never heard of that. Do you have a link to where it can be bought or any links to reviews?
Coakley's - Chess Strategy for Kids is also excellent. Plus it comes with cute pictures. The title is a misnomer though. It's pretty comprehensive as it covers endgame, tactics, and openings as well.

Just get Lev Alburt's "Chess Strategy for the Tournament Player." If you go beyond that, then you can do more complicated books. Many of the recommendations given above are simply well beyond your capability right now. The chess.com stuff, mentioned above, could be helpful to you, too.

Pump up your rating - IM Axel Smith (2 GM norms). Won Chesscafe book of the year 2013. Great book by a great coach and player. Not too expensive either.

The best books will always have its critics. 9 reviews on Amazon, averaging 4 stars (with only one negative review), gives a more accurate representation of reality.
