The Second Piatigorsky Cup is a classic. As a collector, I own the Dover paperback and the Ward Ritchie Press first edition hardback with a worn dustjacket. Compared to the heavily annotated -- perhaps over-annotated -- books of today, the notes are sparse, but that was common practice at the time. I still think it is a book worth owning.
I assume the Russian book you posted is of the 1970 match held in Belgrade and billed as The Match of the Century - USSR versus the Rest of the World. I own the small-sized Chess Player publication of the match, but I imagine if you can read cyrillic the Russian version is better.
Thanks for the post, Mr. Caspiar.
