I'd appreciate some pointers to books on the following two topics:
(1) Introductions to the works of Karl Marx going beyond Capital. (There
are several good books of the "Reading Capital" variety, but I'm
looking for a survey of his other works.)
A collection of some of his main writings, each with some kind of
introduction or preface, would work. (I want paper, not electronic,
copies, and I need to acquire the works themselves, anyway.)
Strongly recommend Hal Draper's 4-volume "Karl Marx's Theory of
Revolution" from Monthly Review. $30 per book, which is reasonable
compared to other publishers.

(2) Biographies of Karl Marx. (Just want to know about the person, his
life, and so on. I realize it's inevitable that such a book would
delve a little bit into his works, but that's not the main point
Following up on Michael's recommendations, I've commented on a review of
Sperber's bio but haven't read it;

But have reviewed Heinrich's:
https://www.counterpunch.org/2019/09/13/the-intellectual-development-of-karl-marx/
here.)
(3) A paper or other summary which addresses what Marxists say, versus
what Marx himself said. (I realize that some things attributed to
Marx or to Marxists aren't really by him or them, although they
might be valid; I'd like to get a sense of who said what. Maybe
there is an introduction to Marxism which would serve this purpose.)
Lots of relevant articles by Hal Draper here:
