Lately I have been reading:
Studying Chess Made Easy
Silman's Complete Endgame Course
Chess tactics by Sierawan (just ok. Very basic.)
Chess openings for white by alburt et al
On the docket:
Logical Chess by chernev
The Game of Chess by Tarrasch (this is supposed to be on of the very best classic chess books.)
Chess openings for black by alburt et al.
Chess Fundamentals by Capablanca
Eta: this may not be what you are looking for though.

Silman's Complete Endgame Course
Not a bad endgame treatment at all. Definitely tilted toward amateurs (which can be a good thing) but gives good coverage that will elevate any club player's game, and probably some masters too.
But for beginning players just learning how to stop giving up material is overwhelmingly the biggest thing. A couple of months ago I was asked by a younger relative for some opening tips. I responded by settting up a game where I played (as White) a4, h4, Rh3 and Ra3 where he could make any moves he wanted in response. I won anyway. It's simply impossible to be even a semi-decent club player until you easily spot one and two move combinations.
