Warning: chess problems don't increase your tactical skills if you want to improve your tactical vision, try 1001 Chess Sac. and Comb. by F. Reinfeld.

This book is a great introduction to the many talented American composers of the turn of the century. In a style that is easy to read and understand, this book presents a well researched portrait of the main chess problem composers born or living in America. A good introduction to the art of chess problem composing and solving.

Great book with interesting problems although "The Puzzle King: Sam Loyd's Chess Problems and Selected Mathematical Puzzles" is more comprehensive with chess problems of greater complexity I tend to rotate between both along with [...] and Shredder daily chess problems. Still, a great addition to my chess library.
