Here's the link to this book on Amazon.  There is no analysis or annotations, but here's every recorded game by him in one book.  Looks interesting.  If anyone has it please leave comments for those of us thinking about buying it.

EDIT:  I just realized this book is not actually new.  It's the first time I saw it though.  Still worth spreading the word, I hope.

The Hays book by Fischer has been out for a while and has most of his games. There are always new games found (usually from the 1964 simul tour)--plain game scores are less useful as you can pretty much find all the games on-line. I happen to like the Donaldson books on Fischer (on the 1964 tour and the one on his early years) as there is more prose and a better understanding of the events. Of course Batsford just re-released an algebraic edition of 60 Memorable Games, One final note is that a new book should be released in the next year with lots of unknown Fischer pictures, writings from his diary,unknown scores of games as well as listing books from his personal library--I will probably be one of the sellers of this book but we are still working on the details--it is more about Bobby the person and will shock even the most skeptical of all.
