"Logical Chess, Move by Move" is indeed available... I just bought it this year. It's even been updated to algebraic notation (it was originally published in 1957, in descriptive notation).
It contains move by move annotations (descriptions) of 33 Grandmaster level games... every move is explained as to it's purpose. A must-have for every player's library.
Yasser Seirawan's "Winning Chess" series is excellent...they should be studied in the following order:
1) Winning Chess Endings
2) Winning Chess Tactics
3) Winning Chess Strategies
4) Winning Chess Combinations
5) Winning Chess Brilliancies
6) Winning Chess Openings
There's also another book by Seirawan, called "Play Winning Chess" which introduces the game and talks about a few of the all time great players, and what made them so great.
Bruce Pandolfini has a lot of good books out...puzzle books (i.e. you solve a given chess position by coming up with the right move)... he also has a couple of other books I'd recommend to a beginning level player:
1) Weapons of Chess
2) The ABC's of Chess
3) Pandolfini's Endgame Course
4) The Chess Doctor
5) Chezzercizes (these are collections of chess problems).
I would avoid any books by Eric Schiller (he has a lot of books out, but his books tend to contain a great many errors).
Susan Polgar has a couple of excellent books out as well, "A World Champion's Guide to Chess" and "Chess Tactics for Champions".
You might want to check out www.wholesalechess.com and check out the 'books' section... they have over 600 books for sale thru their site, and they're for all levels of play, from beginner to expert... the individual web pages describing each book will tell you if it's geared toward beginners, intermediate, etc.
Good luck to you...have fun with the game, it's the best game ever invented!

There is an excellent book no longer in print, but you can find it on ebay sometimes, called "Logical Chess, Move by Move" written by Irving Chernev. It takes you through about 40 Grandmaster games, move by move, explaining each move, while discussing positional considerations, tactics, and strategy. It was hands down the best chess book I ever read when I started playing.
If you haven't figured it out, reading books is your best resource to get better, followed closely by playing games (I recommend finding a local chess club and seeing if anyone there wouldn't mind going over a few games a week with you).
