user20642: I want to learn more about rook and pawn endgames because they are very common. But it’s such a broad subject - where should I even begin?
For example, I do know of the Philidor and Lucena positions, but are there any other fundamental endgames positions I should know? Or should I take a different approach to getting started here?
Thanks so much!

user15223: Before consulting a book, try reading the Wikipedia article on rook and pawn endgames.
As you mention, it's a very broad topic.
