I am actually looking for books that have games Famous games of Catalan and Caro Kann openings...I have studied those openings for almost a year now and now I feel just studying lines isn't enough as a competitive tournament player I have to look at games so please suggest me some books. Thanks
The Caro-Kann by Lars Schandorff has about 25 complete games mostly from 1990-2010. I have a bunch of studies collecting Caro-Kann games of famous players that you can look through or clone for your own use, but they don't have any notes.
Schandorff book is outdated.
Megabase has at least several hundred fully commented Caro-Kann games and several thousand Caro Kann games with comments. Chess Informants Quality base has almost 3000 Caro-Kann games with comments.
No book can come close to this.

You can buy Win with the Caro-Kann http://www.gambitbooks.com/pdfs/Win_with_the_Caro-Kann.pdf
but it's a theory book. It does not have many full games.

I would rather study a book in which a competent author has given much thought to what might be of use to his readers. Even if this book is out of date, he has compiled the essential ideas of an opening in it.
Dealing with a database is (at least for me) much more difficult since I never know where to start due to the sheer number of games.

From the sample, I see that Lesson 13 has "Model Game 13". There are 30 lessons.

It's not really what you are looking for but Panov-Botvinnik Attack: Move by Move presents the Panov thru annotated games. It would give you some [best I recall 50ish] CK games.
I wish books presenting opening theory would also give a few hundred (even lightly) annotated important games.
