Do you really mean all games? If so, a database is better than books. If you mean a games collection with good annotations, Karolyi's books are good: https://www.newinchess.com/endgame-virtuoso-anatoly-karpov  http://www.qualitychess.co.uk/products/2/65/karpovs_strategic_wins_1__the_making_of_a_champion_by_tibor_karolyi/ https://www.qualitychess.co.uk/products/2/66/karpovs_strategic_wins_2_-_the_prime_years_by_tibor_karolyi/

Karpov's own books are also good and lighter reading. To cover his career, you need these three:

All out of print, I think.

what conclusion?

Avatar of lime56

I don't know the Korolyi books mentioned in the other thread but there is a Best Of, annotated by Karpov himself, who I think is a.good annotator. My copy is published by Batsford but think edition Ohms produced a nice edition. Unfortunately this is long out of print and not easy to find second hand. There are also a series of Karpov On...collections. eg Karpov on the Open Games. Not great titles but feature many of Karpov's games. Again these were published by Batsford.
