Looking for recommendations for similar books!

I am really enjoying the book Logical chess: Move by move by Irving Chernev. I'm a 1300 rated beginner and love the way this book explains the wider strategy involved and doesn't take anything for granted.

I was hoping the community would be able to recommend books that follow a similar style? Would be particularly keen on any that treat end game technique in a similar way, and also doesn't have too much notation before an illustration of the board position!

Thanks for any recs!

Irving Chernev also wrote a book called "The Most Instructive Games of Chess Ever Played: 62 Masterpieces of Chess Strategy" and this makes a great follow up to his Logical Chess book.

"Chess: The Art of Logical Thinking", by Neil McDonald.

It's written the same way "Logical Chess"  is (with move-by-move explanations).

The main difference is that the GM games are more modern than Chernev's collection (from the 1980s to the early 2000s).
