Book recommendations

I was recently asked for some book recommendations, and thought easy-peasy, I'll point them to something online.  Then I looked at some lists, and thought I'd write my own...  Just books, not videos or Chessable courses.  Lots of really great books omitted.  The ChessDojo list isn't too bad.

(*) Originally in Descriptive but Algebraic available

Juniors: start with my books with Tim Onions, then graduate to the Gambit books 'for Kids', apart from their Opening one, which is a boring catalogue.

P.S. Compilers of chess book lists: do split your list by level, and don't recommend books available only in Descriptive, or My System.  I know, My System is a great book, but there are better books to learn that stuff from now.  When I was a boy, it was literally in a class by itself, but not now.  See also: Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess, Chess Fundamentals, Ideas behind the chess openings etc etc
