Well, there is no King's Gambit variation from black's perspective.
But there are 2 variations from black's perspective, the QGD and QGA.
So you can't really compare the KG with the QG.
Of course bethanks to the information on the internet,
you can still find out what the book is really about.
But judging from the title you just don't know really what the book is about. I recently looked up which literature does exist for the QGD, and I had to check this book too, because I didn't know if it did handle it or not. If I see a book named "Play the king's indian", I know this is a book from black's perspective in the KID. If I see a book "beating the king's indian", I know this is a book handling the KID from white's perspective. Btw, looking up these books I find 2 other books, which descriptions are not really userfriendly, "Beat the KID" and "Kill K.I.D.",
these titles require you to know that KID = King's Indian Defence, not every chessplayer does know that, especially the ones whose mother's tongue is not english might have problems realizing these titles are about the kid. Do you think a normal chessplayer will find your books on the kid in amazon? I guess he will type "king's indian", I guess "beat the kid" and "kill k.i.d." might not show up.

The Queen's Gambit is 2.c4 - this is the gambit move. For this reason the title is not misleading. Would Playing the King's Gambit not be clear?
I know a few people were confused, but with all the information out there, which is very very clear about what is in the book, I don't hope that anyone went as far as to buy the book and be disappointed.
