This book by Richard Reti was famous in its day but has become a bit of a forgotten classic nowadays. The book was written about a 100 years ago and its copyright has expired so although you can still buy paper copies of it the book is in the public domain and you can for example find an electronic copy of it hosted on Google here:

Being so old of course all the moves are in the descriptive notation. There is this video series which makes the games much more accessible.

I don't know this guy personally but I do know that he has put a lot of effort into covering all 50 games in this book, and if you enjoy watching them I am sure he would appreciate a like.

The first game is Jakob Rosanes - Adolf Anderssen, 1862, Breslau (Poland)

King's Gambit: Falkbeer Countergambit. Anderssen Attack
