Which, in your opinion, is the best collection of Capablanca's games? Is it still in print?

These three books are very good -- and still in print:

Capablanca's Best Chess Endings: by Irving Chernev

The Immortal Games of Capablanca: by Fred Reinfeld

Capablanca's 100 Best Games: Harry Golombek

Thank you for the input! Are you sure that Golombek's book still is in print? I only get strange "hits" when searching @ Amazon.

The Reinfeld book was my favorite as a kid.

"The Immortal Games of Capablanca" is a great book, and is, in my opinion, Fred Reinfeld's best book.

I think it was updated to algebraic about 10 years ago. You might scare one up on eBay.
