An upcoming book by EVERYMAN CHESS is just what you need.
http://www.everymanchess.com/display.php?id=491This book looks stupendous! It is exactly what I need, as I am actually stupid enough to follow McDonald's recommendation in Starting Out: 1 e4! and play the Open Siclian.
Seven Ways to Smash the Sicilian
Yury Lapshun Nick Conticello
One of the main reasons the Sicilian is the most popular opening is that is it promotes such bold and aggressive chess. But as White it's not enough just to attack; you must do so in the right way, using the appropriate weapons. In this book Yury Lapshun and Nick Conticello introduce, categorize and analyse the 'Seven Deadly Sacrifices' White has at his disposal. It's impossible to play Open Sicilian positions with either colour without an intimate knowledge of these sacrifices, and by using illustrative games the authors teach you everything you need to know, including the vital skill of how to recognize when favourable sacrificial conditions arise.
*The ultimate guide to Sicilian bashing
*Covers main lines of the Sicilian
*Includes a feast of entertaining games and violent sacrifices
Published June 2009 EU, July 2009 US | ISBN 9781857445954
Format Paperback, 192 pages

A book is "stupendous" that you haven´t even seen yet? Do me a favour. I´ve seen that you have started a thread on another "upcoming" everyman book elsewhere in a similar fashion. These kind of posts are blatant advertising, please stop hijacking the forum like this.
