I purchased this book recently at a local used book store, just a few blocks away from the University of Chicago campus: Thus, it can be found though it may take some effort. Nonetheless, if you manage to find it, you will think your toil well rewarded, for this is an excellent book---one of the great Botvinnik's last works. It features good analysis of some of the most well know and studied games in the history of chess---for example, Polugaevsky Karpov, 2nd match game and Karpov Spassky 8th and llth match games. The author and interesting subject matter make this a worthwhile read.
