These unexplored resources will certainly make the offbeat weapons 3...g5 (Brentano), 3...f6 (Steinitz), 3...a5 (Popov) or 3...Bb4 (Alapin) much more popular than they recently are.

I presume this book would be aimed at the black player.

New in chess has announced a new opening book (according to amazon.de):

The Ruy Lopez Revisited: Offbeat Weapons and Unexplored Resources
by Ivan Sokolov
~240 pages, ~€23, forthcoming (december09)

I hope to see some original analysis about 3...Bc5, Sokolov has played some interesting games in that line.
