Best Chess Books for Openings

Hi! I am a master looking for some help on chess opening books: where (if their is one after all...) is a complete manual of chess opening ideas and overall preparation for my game? I need to improve my openings, so what books do you chess.com people suggest?

chessbase :-)

It seems amazing to me that an NM is asking a question like this. I have become generally skeptical about the utility of books about lots of openings. Perhaps the chess world has generally come to feel the same way. I find it hard to think of a new book (of this sort) that has been published in the last decade. I think the basic problem is that there are two somewhat contradictory uses that one might imagine for such a book. On the one hand, one might want to be able to look up a particular opening and become prepared to play it. Unfortunately, thorough coverage of individual openings tends to reduce the overall readability of the book and lessen its utility as an aid for reading about many openings while searching for one to adopt. It can be extremely dreary to read details about one opening after another. In the first decade of the 21st century, there were a fair number of books that had a variety of balances between the readable and the thorough. Towards the thorough extreme, one possibility is the 2009 book, Fundamental Chess Openings. That is my best guess at what you want, but, before going for it, I would suggest looking at available online reviews and samples.

If you really want something more suited for quick reading about lots of openings, you might try Yasser Seirawan's Winning Chess Openings (~1999).

I agree with Jesse, chessbase has a lot of annotated games. There are also databases with games played between two computers that you can glean a lot from. 

You can purchase Opening Encyclopedia from Chessbase. 

Fundamental Chess Openings by Paul van der Sterren is a good for learning about most common openings.

I still consult and enjoy Walter Korn's "Modern Chess Openings."

If you have money to spend, buy the latest Hiarcs or Fritz Power Books. 

I’ve used the books from Quality Chess, which go in depth into certain Openings.
