Does anyone know if The Life and Games of Mikhail Tal is worth it? It's expensive (about $25) and I heaar it's not that much of an instructive book.

Ditto.
Possibly one of the best and most readable chess books ever written, proving Tal was incomparable on so many levels.

Without a doubt one of the top ten, probably top five

books relating to chess.
