[villainy]

I was about to write a snide comment about some of the selections....
then I see a first class recommendation.

So here is what I recommend:

Eugene Znosko-Borowski "The Art of Chess Combination"
Rudolph Spielman "The Art of Sacrifice"
Informator "The Encyclopedia of Chess Middlegames"

The last is simply a book of positions from actual games
where you are supposed to try and figure out the tactical
scheme that leads to overwhelming victory....ect.
and as a supplement I would recommend you study the games
of Morphy, Anderssen, Marshall and even Alekhine and Tahl.

These recommendations come from a player who was near master in
my late teens before becoming a top flight bridge player.
