It consists of two chessable-courses and it looks like the courses are manageable even for busy ( or lazy Smiley ) people...

The last book I saw from the white perspective covering the English Attack is Dismantling the Sicilian by Jesus de la Villa, 2009. Does anyone know of anything newer?

Najdorf Poisoned Pawn Repertoire Books
Are there any good (fairly recent) repertoire books, advocating the "Poisoned Pawn" Variation (7...Qb6) vs. 6.Bg5 in the Najdorf, from Black's point of view?

Najdorf Lifetime Repertoire Giri out on Chessable
Against 6.Bg5, it's 10.g4 h6.
Against 6.Be3, it's the h5 line (as in Vigorito's).
Against 2. Nc3, it's 2..d6.
The rest of the lines seem to be mainline stuff. I've had good experiences ...

Najdorf dvd by Pelletier
Has anyone got this yet ? From the informative video sample, it would appear to complement the Vigorito book. Both go for ..., e5 against almost all options other than Bc4 and Bg5.
