What are the best books on..?

  • Defense
  • Pawn Structure
  • Evans Gambit/Italian Game
  • Guicco Piano

And if there's a book about a repertoire for Black that would be appreciated!

For Pawn Structure, check out the books by Kmoch ( Pawn Power), Soltis and Baburin.  I prefer Soltis to Kmoch as it is easier to read / less jargon.
