As a big fan of 'move by move' books I am considering purchasing one of Cyrus Lakdawala's book. (1) What do you think about these books (in general) and (2) which particular one, do you think, is the best?

Be aware (if you're not already) that the Everyman Move by Move series of books, while good imo, are quite different from e.g. Chernev's Logical Chess: Move by Move or John Nunn's Understanding Chess Move by Move, which explain more or less every single move. The Everyman books have a more normal style and density of annotation. What distinguishes them is the text is interspersed with questions (with answers) to the reader, which are supposed to give a more interactive experience. 

You can check them out for yourself using the Amazon "Look inside" feature.

I've read the one on Capablanca, and really enjoyed it. I don't know about the others.
