I am playing chess on playchess.com and my
actual elo rating on it is 1335. I am looking for
a good book that can help me better! I am
looking for something that could provide me
with popular openings, middle and end game
tactics and strategy.

If there is a Barnes and Noble bookstore near you,
you might be able to find Chess, Tactics and Strategy
by Graham Burgess in the discount section. It does
have a substantial section on openings - about 170
pages, along with material on the middle and end
games. The book is over 500 pages and the discount
price is about $8. (The original title was: The Mammoth
Book of Chess.)
