I heard from several people that this is a good read. http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/pawn-structure-chess-andrew-soltis/1030517355. However, pawn structure books tend to be rather tedious in their uh specificity--or so I've heard. So, be sure it's something you really want to look into.

I have a DVD that is pretty good. (Pawn Structures and How to Play Them - IM Danny Kopec)

I didn't know that paulgottlieb thanks. Jonathan where could I get a copy of that?
The DVD is available on the USCF website as well as Kopec's own site.
Can't go wrong with Danny Rensch's series of videos. He really has a knack for explaining chess concepts.

It IS getting a bit pricey on the used book market. I wonder how the publishers make the decision to reprint a book?

I really don't know for sure. Probably a mix of demand, publishing rights and how fast the previous version took to sell out.
I thought that price was pretty high too; even the cheapest ones don't appear to be in the best condition.

That's why I went to the uscf website and got a couple of dvds off there. The prices weren't to bad.
If you go to 'Youtube' there are a lot of videos relating to 'Pawn Structure' and they are free!!
I can't seem to find a book on pawn structures in any local book store. Is there some online website that I could purchase so off of? Also, what book or books do you guys reccomend I read first?
