If one has a serious interest in Steinitz, it might be of interest to get Paul Morphy and the Evolution of Chess Theory.

If I remember correctly, it includes a reprint of an extended discussion of Morphy by Steinitz.

If I remember coorectly, the Steinitz section of the Shibut book is quite long - maybe more than 20 pages, but I can understand if you feel that you have encountered enough writing about Morphy. My impression is that, nineteenth century chess books tended to dwell on openings. In his Manual of Chess, Lasker got into other topics, including a lot of explanation of the thinking of Steinitz.

I think that more than one person has considered it to be easier to learn about Steinitz from Lasker than to learn about Steinitz from Steinitz. The Move by Move book also sounds like a good idea to me.
