Poisoned Pawn Najdorf 8. a3!?

Mastering the najdorf...
Hi everyone,
Could you please tell me what you think of Arizmendi and Moreno's book?
I'm quite a najdorf beginner and wonder if the proposed repertoire is good (no busts,etc...)
Thanks....

What do you think about the move 6...e5 in the 6.Bg5 Najdorf ? It´s almost never played. Is it really that bad?
