I haven't seen a final list of contents, but can report that my own contribution was a white repertoire on the Centre Game which spans three chapters.
I was able to put some of my research into practice in one recent game which can be found here:

Very interesting! I have wondered if the Centre Game might be worth a try, after attacking maestro Larry Christiansen presented some inspirational games with it in his book "Rocking the Ramparts".

Nice game against Georgiev, but I don't understand Pein's comment in the Telegraph link, after 1.e4 e5 2.d4 exd4 3.Qxd4 Nc6 4.Qe3 Nf6 5.Nc3 Bb4 6.Bd2 0–0 7.0–0–0 Re8 8.Qg3:
"My database tells me this move has not been played for the best part of fifty years which is odd because it is a standard sacrifice in this kind of position."

Well, I thought 8.Qg3 was the very main line of the opening, as played in the famous Morozevich-Hebden, 1994 and many other games before and since. Which database was Pein using!?

This is great news!  I don't suppose it would be possible to get a sneak preview of the table of contents?  Just to whet the appetite...

I have been informed that the proofs are about ready and that presumably it will be at the printers this month.
So the book should be published soon! Smiley

My copy is on order already - I just wish it was likely to be out in time for the Christmas holidays!

In fact i am also rather curios with this book
is it "flooded" with Ruy-Lopez line or not?

I understand the RL, alone, could have deserved such a book but 
for the moment I hope this book brings lots of ideas to other e4 e5 openings such as,
scoth, ponziani, vienna, etc

This book will be available soon. I have a question for Mr. J. Emms, A. Greet or G. Flear - Will this book have a chapter with dangerous weapons for black in the Ruy Lopez? Many thanks, I will be watching for another great book in this series.
