Dvoretsky's book aren't absolutely for a player of your level. They are recommended for a player who is at least at master level.
If I had to buy one book ..

Maybe Cialdini's book about influence, it's about psychological tricks.
I recently bought 'Pawn Power in Chess' at the recommendation of an IM. It is written by a guy called Hans Kmoch.
I haven't read it yet, only skimmed through, but it looks like it may be useful when I get round to it.

My 60 Memorable Games
Silman's Endgame Course (if you don't have a suitable endgame book)
Something on rook endgames if you need that focus
Pawn Struture Chess by GM Andrew Soltis
My 60 Memorable Games....if you r a sicilian player or e4

If you have all of those, and I mean no offense by this, your rating tells me you will improve more by spending your time reading them instead of your money buying more. Those books have enough information in them to get you to USCF expert -easily- (combined with tactics and practice), which roughly (very roughly, there's no good comparison) translates to 2100-2200+ chess.com online rating.
I haven't found many other books that worthwhile, personally.
How to make a great dinner in 30 minutes
'How To Win AT Chess Without Buying Books'...the best book for improving your play
i was thinking naroditsky 'mastering positional chess'
How to reasses your chess

i think it depends on what level of chess a player is on.for me the book i mostly learnt how to play chess was Logical Chess move by move. by Irving Chernev. the games are a bit old but still one of greatist chess books.
