This book talks only of the 3-Nc3 lines and there is much stuff. Steffen Pedersen does a great job in explaining the main variations without forgetting to give less played lines. It is another good example of the quality The Gambit Publications are used to give to readers. The materiel is not too complicated for amateur players and is deep enough.
Having contacted the House of Edition myself I can tell that the same author is to write a second book on all the other lines of the French in 2003. I'm eager to see it!

When I purchased this book I thought that it was going to be a standard book. How wrong was I! This book is fantastic! The author did a great job commenting the positions and it is clear that he, himself, assessed the variations and offered a very balanced opinion.

I was very, very surprised with his thoroughness and the fact that the book is not merely a repository for a database. Pedersen crafted this book with care and professionalism!

I, myself have gathered some ideas from it and what is interesting is that these ideas are applicable over the board...

I am happy I bought this book and hope to see a next one on the French by him.

Did not have time to go completely though. Gave to friend...
