Iam soon going to move from India to Norway. I own multiple reference books that will be relevant to my work in the future as well and I plan to move with my books. Several of the editions that I own are marked "for sale in the Indian subcontinent only". One of them bears a sticker "ILLEGAL for sale in USA" and inside the book, in two places, contains a sticker "It is ILLEGAL under Indian Law to export this book from India."
The goal of such "rules" isn't to prevent scholars from moving with their libraries, but to restrict the potential practice of commercial brokers from taking advantage of regional discounts and immediately reimporting them into place without those discounts.
It might be technically illegal for you to resell books in some places, but there would really be no one to enforce such a "law" for a private sale. It would be a different matter if you had a hundred copies of the same text, of course because now the publisher might take notice.
Note also that the standard boilerplate printed in the front matter of most books (in the US, say) imply that you have fewer rights than you do. They don't, generally, mention fair use exceptions. "No part of this book may be reproduced in any form..." That is really wishful thinking on their part, not actual law or regulation.
The review links were helpful. They even include a book by Emms on the scotch game that I obtained (I intend to transition out of the Scotch Gambit in my openings) - which makes me feel good about my choice. BUT, they make me want to keep both the Dearing AND the Emms book!
For a White opening repertoire, check out Vincent Moret's "My First Chess Opening Repertoire for White". It is based around 1.e4 and is excellent. Although the subtitle says "A Ready-to-go-Package for Ambitious Beginners" (it's an introductory treatment) I think the book's basic repertoire is suitable for players up to about 1700-1800 ELO.
Emms' and Deering's books are both great, but aimed at quite different levels. You also have to bear in mind that Dearing's book is a repertoire book. For instance, one of the variations he recommends against the Rubinstein Variation, the Psakhis-Romanishin System (4.e3 b6 5.Ne2 c5) is an excellent choice. However, the replies at Black's disposal after 4.e3 is very wide indeed, and there might very well be other setups that would suit you better than this particular system which is quite unlike anything else in the Rubinstein.

Hi! I'm Mackenzie, the Ph.D. student behind the book reviews and blog. Reading books has always been my favorite pastime and I love sharing my thoughts about them with the world. Now I should probably get back to writing that dissertation...

The Protect Nebraska Children Coalition brought an extensive list of books to the Wauneta-Pallisade (NE) Public Schools board meeting and wanted the books removed from both the elementary and high school libraries. The list of more than 30 titles included The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie, Ghost Boys by Jewell Parker Rhodes, Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher, Go Tell It on the Mountain by James Baldwin, Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson, Dear Martin by Nic Stone, The Color Purple by Alice Walker, The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini, Beloved by Toni Morrison, The Undefeated by Kwame Alexander, Pink Is for Boys by Robb Pearlman, and Harbor Me by Jacqueline Woodson. The books were removed for evaluation.
A community member raised concerns about All American Boys by Jason Reynolds and Brendan Kiely in the middle school library at Raymond (WI) School District. A committee of teachers, community members, parents, and librarians met to discuss it and decided middle school students should be allowed to check out the book. The school board rejected their recommendation and voted to ban this title and all other books with racial slurs or profanity from school libraries. Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson and The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie were also challenged and removed from district libraries without following policy.
When this young adult novel was used in an eighth-grade language arts class at the North Albany (OR) Middle School, a parent of a student in a different class (not in the class reading the book) objected to the language and references to masturbation. The Reconsideration Committee voted to retain the title.
Retained, but restricted to extracurricular book club use only, this popular YA novel was challenged by parents who objected to its being required reading for ninth-graders at the Midland (MI) Public Schools. The concern was content regarding alcohol, bullying, violence, sexual references, profanity, and slurs. The book did go through a review process, and was allegedly read by all school board members. Right before Banned Book Week, an English teacher at Waverly (KS) High School was suspended for considering teaching this YA novel.
Retained on the summer reading list at Antioch (IL) High School despite objections from several parents who found its language vulgar and racist. In response to concerns, however, the district will form a committee each March to review future summer reading assignments. The committee, which will include parents, would decide whether parents should be warned if a book contains possibly objectionable material.
Suspended from a Crook County High School classroom in Prineville (OR) after a parent complained it was offensive. The book will remain out of the classroom while
the school district revamps its policies.

The board voted unanimously to remove books deemed too sexually explicit to be read during the meeting. Chair Peggy Jones stopped many of the nearly 50 speakers from finishing passages they were reading. For other books, she asked for a content warning be included so parents could remove children who were watching the meeting remotely.
It's exactly what the group hoped to accomplish, counting on a new state law that requires school districts remove books when someone is prohibited from reading them during a public meeting, Jennifer Pippin, president of the local chapter of Moms For Liberty told TCPalm on Tuesday.
Passages from 57 books were read, Pippin said. Jones stopped readings from at least 20 books, including "The Handmaid's Tale," "The Bluest Eye," and "Go Ask Alice," and a collection of books by author Ellen Hopkins, she said. An exact count is still being compiled.
Many of the people crowding the School Board meeting demanded the books be removed from school libraries immediately, citing HB 1069, which was signed into law by Gov. Ron DeSantis this spring and went into effect in July.
The law outlines the process for challenges to books and classroom materials, and sets restrictions on gender and sexual-identity education. The board voted unanimously to remove the books Jones stopped from being read aloud and the titles for which she requested a content warning for remote viewers.
