No doubt one could find a combined pgn file of all the games in CMvCA on the 'net.
Or in ChessBase (cbv) format, at any rate:

Thanks a lot for your suggestion. I was going to manually plot out all the games into game editor. I never thought to look for the PGN files online, didn't think about it. I have found them. Link below for any one else interested:

thankyou for these pgns :D
This book has been translated into Russian and published in 2014 (obviously in algebraic notation):
I am reading it right now and find analysis and explanations really excellent (at least for my level of 1700 OTB). I've always had a problem to sustain my interest in studying instructive game collections - this is the first book of this kind that I really enjoy.

I think it is possible to see online samples of most Gambit Publications books by going to their site.

Well 11 years late but maybe someone will come across this old thread. It’s a very good book and it does not take long to get a feel for the descriptive notation. I became somewhat fond of DN by the 3rd game in the book, it’s not much of a struggle and for sure worth it.
Just got this book for Christmas! Descriptive is not difficult to learn.

Enjoying chess books is half the battle, mostly they are written for masochists.
This is a consciousness-expanding book that takes you into the mind of a grandmaster and world champion! The introduction to this volume is worth the total price of admission! I have read so many contemporary GMs who have called this book a classic and for good reason - it is one! Having grown up on Descriptive Notation I have no problem with it of course except for the occasional confusion over the squares which is why Algebraic is so much better. Still, this is my all-time favorite chess book - and it’s not even close!!
I have read Max Euwe and Walter Meiden "Chess master versus Chess grandmaster" . That was a great book. I haven't read the OP one. But if it's as good then I say yes, it's worth reading
