After you read a beginner’s chess book and learn some tactics and checkmates, you will start playing and losing a lot of games. This book shows you those games and their ideas. If you would rather pick up these ideas on your own by losing game after game, have at it. If not, read this valuable little book and you’ll be on the winning side of those early games instead. Your choice.
BTW, author Tony Gillam had his 80th birthday last year. He wrote this excellent book decades ago, filling a real gap in basic chess instruction. It should be more widely known.

Develop your pieces first! Why?

This book shows the weak spots at f7 (Black) and f2 (White), the checkmates,
the queen checks at h5, a4 (for White) and h4, a5 (for Black) that can then double
attack across the fourth, fifth rank. These are very important to learn, to look for,
in openings. But, a lot of books will assume a student has already studied this.
(By possibly instruction from a paid chess coach.)
Some books simply only show opening moves. Gillam shows why a player can't
break a pin by the pawn move to h3, to attack the pinning bishop on g4, when
White has already castled, but not yet Black. Why? Black plays his black pawn to
h5 to recapture at g4 (bishop sacrifice). Black gets the open h file for the black rook!
In very quick variations it will lead to White getting mated. (Tartakower's 500
Master Games never explains this.) It's an extremely important point in the
openings as to when to capture at g4. Gillam's book is organized into f7 Attacks,
h5 Checks, King Hunts, Attacking the Castled position, and more! Most of these short
"Games" are blunders because of development. It's absolutey necessary info for all players.
It's also the kind of stuff that's never shown in Chernev's Logical Chess Move by Move.
Gillam's introduction essay is excellent, he doesn't "dummy down" basics of chess.
There is no naming of openings because Gillam is showing the tactical weak spots
of the beginning chess positions. The next level up is Panolfini Traps and Zaps but
he assumes a student already knows these basics. Then, to see the next stage of
instruction, there is Michael Stean's expert Simple Chess. Also, there is midgame
tactics, see Pandolfini's Fischer's Outrageous Moves. Next, Edmar Mednis' book for
Strategic Chess in Closed Games. (Awesome instruction in concepts and details.)
Once at that level see 222 d4 Traps by Knaak and Muller. Gillam gives his students
the advice to next study short games, he doesn't mention any by name. Well known
is Chernev's Winning Chess Traps (12-move games often difficult while always explained).
It's in P-K4 notation. William's book is surprising, sometimes easy, sometimes advanced.
He covers a lot of important chess territory and gives enough diagrams to see the games
often without needing a chess board. Some of the games have difficulty not expected.
