Well, I think turn of the century players are probably less well-known than mid-20th century Soviet players by now - due to the passage of time.
But all the books that I enjoy feature players like Tarrasch, Nimzovich, Rubinstein, Marshall, Pillsbury, Flohr, etc.
World championship contenders. Especially Rubinstein - who I don't think had the opportunity to play for a WC match due to World War II - if I recall correctly.
