There are lots of good "serious" chess books. The standard is Tarrasch, and the next one (in terms of teaching something completely different) is Nimzowitsch's My System.
There are chess-related mathematical things, such as infinite chess.
opening principles should be learned way before you try and focus on defined openings. you should already know what openings you keep seeing come up over and over (ruy lopez, italian game, QGD etc.) and then you come with the question, how can i get an advantage with this opening i have been playing against over and over.
80% tactics, 15% endgame, and 5% open will do you a lot better then the other way around.
this is one of the best chess books i have ever read

look at the order he teaches chess,
Dr. Tarrasch begins with the endgame — because it's easier for a novice to deal with a few men than the entire 32. An important and extensive discussion of the middle game follows. Finally, the author deals with openings and offers enlightening comments on many historically important variations. Over 340 diagrams and 12 complete games.
The Game of Chess by Siegbert Tarrasch.

I originally stumbled upon this endgame tactic in a Tarrasch book! I thought it was brilliant and it's one of the few things from that book I still remember. The book was The Game of Chess, and it used descriptive notation. I was about 12.
