The “completeness” of this compendium is as of 1972 and newer versions of “complete collections” would be even more complete with even more game records. If you are interested in just accessing the game records, it’s probably easier for you to buy a database such as GoGoD, but if you want a beautiful physical set, this one is definitely top notch. Although it may be quite difficult to find and expensive to acquire.
