Is there any game collection that features a lot of Aronian's games? Having seen his games against Carlsen, which are nearly always thrillers, including the draws, and his game against Kramnik last year, not to mention his brilliant early rook activation against Nepomniachtchi in the Sinqufield cup last year, I have got to think that he has more than enough original ideas to fill a book of about 120 games. If anyone knows anything please share!

Thanks for the info. I would probably not have found this otherwise.

Not a book, but there's a video series on chess24 called "Fighting for the Initiative with Black" based on Aronian's games.
