  I don't know of any books that follow the format that Yusupov uses in his series.
  
  *The Soviet Chess Primer* by Ilya Maizelis, and *Journey to the Chess Kingdom* by Averbakh and Beilin are both good initial books. *The Complete Idiot's Guide to Chess* by Patrick Wolff is also a nice book.
  
  There are also series of books, such as Yasser Seirawan's *Winning Chess ...* series, and Lev Alburt's books.
