Learn descriptive notation dude. Took me about 5 minutes to learn and an hour to speak it fluently. You're excluding yourself from a lot of great books by not learning the language. It's fairly straight forward as well.
I know descriptive. I'm old enough that it was still common when I was small. But my point about lack of modern versions for the classic great players still stands. Things seem to be improving a bit with this Move by Move series, but not everyone likes it. Another reason I want modern books is so that they will be available for my Kindle. Plus I'm trying not to assemble a large, physical chess book library - I've already been down that route. I have too many books in general as it is But buying a few of the classic works in descriptive by Reinfeld may be forced.
