Easy Guide(?) - A misleading title:
There is very little verbal explanation in this book - one is simply shown masses of variations. Tis is typical of sharp lines like the Sicilian Dragon - hence, there is no point in really claiming to write Easy Guides on such Openings. However, the book scores highly on all other points - good writing/translation and evaluations and assessments of critical and off beat lines by the author( a Dragon expert and GM practitioner who has introduced a few novelties in this opening).
