Do not judge this book by its title : definitely NOT a coffeehouse repertoire! :D

Agreed; based on only partial perusal, a good buy.

I observed last week that several competitors in the Irish Championship were employing lines recommended in the book, though I didn't ask them whether they actually had a copy.
Mine arrived only 2-3 days before the tournament started and helped with preparation for one game. Volume 2 is eagerly awaited,
