Book-length (or just very rich) game annotations

I'm just reading B. Pandlofini's "The Principles of the New Chess", which is, simply speaking, a book in which 1 (yes, one!) game is commented on with a lot of digressions on tactical and strategic concepts arising.

Since I do like this format, I'd like if you know anything similar:

- a book in which one game is annotated + many additional information introduced

- a book which contains several games but with rich comments on each

I don't know of a book with just a single game, but some books with very detailed comments on multiple games are:

1. Grandmaster Chess Move By Move by John Nunn. He has three different books of his best games, but I think this one is the best.

2. The Art of Chess Analysis by Jan Timman: very long annotations on some of the best games played in the 1970s. A similar book released after this one is Jon Speelman's Best Chess Games 1970-1980 (these are the best games of the decade, not Speelman's best games).

3. Paul Keres' best games collection issued in three volumes in the 1960s and later reissued in two volumes by Batsford with a few games from the end of Keres' career added by John Nunn.

Thank you. I'm afraid, however, that Nunn, Timman or Keres are just over my patzer's head at the moment. I'm looking for something with a limited number of variants and considerable amount of narrative - like Chernev, Euwe, or Pandolfini.

There was another Pandolfini book, Russian Chess that I think you would like. Also, I like Neil McDonald's Chess: The Art of Logical Thinking for it's prose explanations.

An older book with a lot of narrative explaining strategy is "Chess Master versus Chess Amateur" by former world champion Euwe.
