I need your opinions. Besides the great 1953 Zurich Candidates by Bronstein,
what other annotated collection is worthwhile getting? Is there anything
close to Bronstein?

Yea, I had that book. It's way too expensive now. Not even the
libraries have them because people steal them to sell on Ebay.

I'm surprised no one's mentioned Tarkatower and Dumont's "500 Master
Games of Chess". What do you all think of that one?

I noticed when I opened Ray Gorden's message, my outlook express gave me the
warning that is was trying to access my email messages.
Good suggestions all
I would add Grandmaster of Chess: The complete games of Paul Keres. and
Tal's book on his match with Botvinnik.

One of the first three chess books I ever purchased, and an excellent
choice.

I would second the recommendation of both Tarrasch and Alekhine collections.
I would also recommend:
Mammoth Book of the Worlds Greatest Chess Games - Burgess et al
How Karpov Wins - Mednis
Test Your Chess with Daniel King - King
Understanding Chess Move By Move - Nunn
Instructive Modern Chess Masterpieces - Stohl
Masters of the Chessboard - Reti
Garry Kasparov's Greatest Chess Games vol 1 - Stohl
And Kasparov's series looks great, but it also looks like a lifetime
commitment.
Kmoch's book on Rubinstein contains few (and sometimes poor) annotations,
but the games themselves are fantastic.
I was disappointed by Reinfeld's book on Capablanca's games.
Sergeant's annotations does not do justice to Morphy's games.
If I had to narrow it down, I'd suggest the Burgess, the Nunn, and the Reti.

Thanks, PK. I had forgotten about those.
I just started going over the games from the 1953 Zurich tournament. Amazing
how many draws...

Some guy named Fischer wrote about sixty games of his that he found
memorable.

He didn't forget them at all. They'd already been published in
another book, the name of which I don't recall.

Alekhine's two volume set (Dover has it now, maybe in one volume) of
"My Best Games" is pretty good too.
