Personally I haven't been too impressed with these Szentgyorgyi problems.

Perhaps Starbuck Coffee would help us all!

Don't mess with Ernö Szentgÿorgÿi or he will make you pronounce his name. OK, indeed they are not the most astute problems, but his long series contain a whole bunch of changed mates - the waiting move never works, you always have to find something extra compared to the "pass move", and making such problems is a craft in itself

Ernő Szentgyörgyi -- can you recommend a book in which he features?

I am intrigued by Ernő Szentgyörgyi's miniature problems. Can anyone recommend a book in which he features, or another source for miniature chess problems?
