500 Master Games - in algebraic? Or different book?

I love Tartakower's hoary old classic, "500 Master Games of Chess".  It's awesome for a beginner because the theory is still new and the openings are similar to what most beginners get into.  It's a huge compilation of games as well, organized by opening, so it's great to just flip open and play through a random game.

However...it's in descriptive notation and while I can decipher it, it takes a lot more work (I just grew up with algebraic).  Has there ever been an algebraic version of this book?  If not, is there a similar book?

I don't think it's available in algebraic.

I also dont think there is a similar book, Tartakower had a way about him that no-one can really copy.

My absolute all time favourite book.

If you work through that book you should have no problems with descriptive well before you get to the end. I think getting proficient with playing through descriptive games is definitely worth the effort. There are many nice books that have never been updated to algebraic.

Descriptive only, but if you can manage it at all 500 Master Games would be a lot of entertainment in a single package, and of course a fine collection of games for the student to play over and learn from.
