Golombek has a nice book of Capa's Games and Frisco Del Rosario just published a very nice book--both of these are readily available with exact titles an easy Google search away

Is this the Del Rosario book you speak of:

Yes that is the Del Rosario book--I really enjoy his instructive writing style. There are Capa games as well as other contemporaries but it is really well done in my opinion.

The Golombek book has I believe 100 annnotated games which I think are well done. Also Reinfeld did a nice book on Capa ( The Immortal Capablanca if I am not mistaken) which also is a nice game collection.
I prefer older game collections as I find the annotations rely more on words and ideas as opposed to computer generated analysis,
I enjoyed Chernev's Capablanca's Best Chess Endings. Although the emphasis is on the endgame the whole game is given. Chernev is an enthusiastic writer and fun to read. A caveat though, Chernev comes close to idol worship of Capablanca and you have to take some of the things he says with a grain of salt.
Can anybody recommend some good books of annotated Capablanca games?
