Has anyone seen the new book on Capablanca by Isaak and Vladimir Linder? Can the book be recommended for its annotations? I have the Golombek book (updated by Nunn) and the two volumes on Capablanca's games published by Chess Stars. They're okay but I don't think they do justice to explaining Capablanca's contributon to positional play or give his contribution a historical context.
On a side note, I think the games of both Rubinstein and Capablanca are excellent for teaching and learning positional play. But I haven't seen anything on either that really satisfies me. In contrast, two excellent books on Morphy have come out in the past few years.
New Capablanca book?
