There is a table of contents at http://www.schachversand.de/startneue.htm - Just do a quick search (top of the page) for "Scheerer".

The original manuscript even exceeded the final 361 pages; I have no reliable numbers but I think something between 20-30 pages had to be cut - alas, those space considerations! But given that the original project was not meant to be bigger than 200 something pages, I am grateful my publisher even allowed such a mammoth Smiley

As for dfan (and all other readers), I hope you still like the book after a more thorough examination!

Sounds quite nice -- and apparently with an average of about 7 pages per idea.  I wonder if there is a table of contents available (I didn't see one on the publisher's website).

The Greatest Ever Chess Opening Ideas

by Christoph Scheerer, né Wisnewski (author of Play 1...Nc6! and occasional contributor here), arrived today.  After ten minutes of browsing it looks very good.  There are 50 chapters in chronological order, starting with 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.c3! and 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3!, and ending with Topalov's recent Nxf7! against Kramnik.

This is exactly the sort of chess content that I love - history and theory combined.  Scheerer (so far) does a good job of combining historical analysis (e.g., in that first chapter, the old 4...Qe7 is examined in detail) with contemporary evaluations.  It's hard to recommend a book after only ten minutes with it, but it looks great so far, and in my opinion fills a big and unfortunate hole in chess literature.
