mctrivia: Yes. Amateur Minds and Reassess Your Chess by Jeremy Silman. There is a review on Amazon here
These two books are excellent and if you put in the time, it will pay off. Read Amateur Minds first. There is also a Reassess Your Chess workbook that is helpful.
Another big help is software and I'd recommend is CT-ART. I have it and use it (not enough) and it's great drilling.
Shop around to get the best deals. Amazon has been good to me but I usually buy my chess materials from http://www.chesshouse.com/ or even ebay (where the best deals can be found at least in my experience.)
There are other good books too but these two I'd suggest you start with.
