I just discovered feature in Chess informant Reader 2.1 - if you Control-C an
fen position , it automatically seacrhes your database for the position,
including the annotations - in the case above , the position is from the
analysis of one of the games, not the game itself.  In fact most of the
positions posted here as an example for the new book are from analysis and not
the actual moves played in the games,  Which is good news since most people do
not subscribe to Chess Informant or if they do, they do not play through all the
analysis, thus the positions will be fresh to most people.

The funny looking symbols(e,g. "$40") in the PGN are the annotation NAGS that
the official PGN standard supports.  A good PGN reader will understand those
symbols and convert them into CI type symbols that many chess players are
familiar with.
