I always enjoyed Endgame Magic by John Beasley & Timothy Whitworth.

My copy is from Batsford in 1996, and it doesn't seem to be on sale new.

Good luck with your search! Some of those books are incredibly interesting!

(While I've never seen this book, I asume it should be good enough as a compilation of endgame studies - 2545)

A First Century of Studies

by Pogosyants

Edited by A.J. Roycroft 48pp. A collection of 100 endgame studies composed by Pogosyants presented in Roycroft's inimitable style

[Berthold Chiang]

i'm sure i'll get a wealth of information in these books.

A very recent work is Studies for Practical Players by Mark Dvoretsky and Oleg Pervakov - I have not seen it, but considering Dvoretsky's involvement (he is always advocating the use of studies to advance calculation skills) it would be of high quality. A free alternative are the studies published online at the Chesscafe - they have a large archive of over 600 positions.
