Mike Basman is well known for using unorthodox openings and I was hoping that the book would be about his unusual style.

In fact it's more of a simple introduction to opening principles and it also covers a very few openings (Giuoco Piano, Nimzo-Indian, Sicilian Dragon, Smith-Morra gambit) in a little more detail. And I do mean a little.

Sounds (and looks) like fifties sci-fi. Reads like a manual for chess hustlers, though. And that's its charm. Includes games, theory, and problems.
