@ Dragan Glas,

You are right, that Barburin also discussed hanging pawn structures,
but it was only a small section of his book and mainly in relation to hanging pawn structures arising from a isolated pawn structure.

As far as I know Marovic wrote 4 middle game books:
Beside the two allready mentioned, the other two are:
Secrets of Chess Transformations (converting advantages)
Secrets of Positional Chess

Obviously you cant write on positional chess without touching the subject of pawn structures, but there is more to it than that: piece positioning and piece coordination, regrouping your pieces etc.

Well, 
on the bright side:
"Winning pawn structures" (Barburin) only covered the isolated d-pawn.
Still a classical book (unfortunately Batchford cheated the author out of his fee) 
Even if youre a top GM player, you cant force an e4 opening by legal means.........
when you have black!
so the book will probably be usefull regardless your white opening repertoire.  

By the way some pawn structures occasionally make a surprise appearance: 
The minority attack is well known as White's main strategic weapon in the Exchange variation of the Queens Gambit.
But do you know it as an essential weapon for the black side in the (spanish) Marshall Attack, and in some variations of the Kings Gambit accepted?
It's my experience that not a few white e4 players only recognize this, when it is allready too late ......
Finally Capablanca showed great originality by launching a mirror minority attack against the pawn structure e5-f6-g7-h7

As for myself I dont see the necessity to buy a new book on pawn structures.
Besides Barburin's book I own a set of Marovic books:
Understanding pawn play in chess
Dynamical pawnplay in chess (devoting approx 100 pages to typical pawn play in sicilian systems of a total of 270 pg.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shereshevsky's two volume set:
on typical endgames related to pawnstructures ordered by opening.
These books could do with a reprint, as the price for a second hand copy seems to have gone through the roof these days  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
And I must have buried an ancient copy of Kmoch's
Kunst der Bauernfuehrung somewhere.
Here is another unfortunate title as a very large part of this book only 
treats closed ruy lopez (with a white pawn on d5) and benoni pawn structures.

I received the book today and I can say it is very good like the usual quality of New in Chess books. For d4 players is a must but I think that others can benefit from the book because an isolated pawn position and the treatment of the position and what one can learn is equal for isolated pawns in French or Caro and once one learn how to treat the position like hanging pawns or majorities on one side it is equal for lots of openings. I rate this book very highly! 

Hello, today i got my copy of the book.
I spent some 2-3 hours checking the content and my first impression is that i spent my money for nothing. OK we have about 48 typical pawn structures covered but they are mainly from 1.d4 openings. I was interested in doubled pawns (because of my Sicilian Rauzer repertoire) and i was simply bored when I saw that all the structures are arising from NID or QID or TD. Maybe it would be better if the book was named something like 1.d4 pawn structures. There is no single game arising from open or semi-open openings. Brrrrrrr.
Or maybe we need to wait a second volume covering these and spend another 25 EUR.
My impression is that it is not enough to analyse in depth 1 or 2 games which cover a typical pawn structure. Even if they are played by top GMs. For example the Saemisch structure in NID is covered only in one or two games, but it is not enough. I can recall at least 10 more typical classic games which show the typical plans.
My overal assessment is that the book is beyond the expectations.
My rating is 3/10 (or even 1/10) and it does not worth money 

Based the following limited information from BCM Chess, the focus seems somewhat different from Soltis' Pawn Structure Chess:

Winning Chess Middlegames: An Essential Guide to Pawn Structures - Ivan Sokolov

Paperback, 260 pages

Winning Chess Middlegames addresses the often ignored but extremely important topic of pawn structures, divided into four main types: doubled pawns, isolated pawns, hanging pawns and pawn majorities. With its highly accessible verbal explanations and deep analyses of top-level games, this book helps you to solve the basic problems of the middlegame: space, tension and inititative.

Club players studying Winning Chess Middlegames will:

* greatly enhance their middlegame skills

* develop an accurate feeling as to which particular positions suit their style

* acquire new strategic and practical opening knowledge

I second that question.  I wonder how it compares to "Pawn Structure Chess" and "Dynamic Pawn Play in Chess," both of which I like a lot.
