Does anyone know of a really good book with annotated games by Karpov
in algebric notation? I have "How Karpov Wins", by Mednis, that is ok
but in descriptive notation. Any chessbase/pgn/online annotated games
would be welcome too.

Volume V of Kasparov's _On My Great Predecessors_ is due out in ember
of this year and covers Karpov and Korchnoi. You'll have to wait until
late 2006 for Volume VI, covering the Karpov-Kasparov matches, though.

Batsford published a Karpov-authored book of his best games, called
"Anatoly Karpov's Best Games" or something like that.

I found it a little on the dry side.
