Well, John Cox published his excellent "Dealing with d4 deviations" book through 'Everyman chess' back in 2005. There he advocates for 2...h6 3.Bh4 c6 very convincingly. Although I like 3...c5 as in this game:


Very original setup for black is 2...f6 3.Bh4 Nh6 4.e3 Nf5 5.Bg3 h5 ...  Cheesy
Overall, white successfully equalize with 2.Bg5  Wink

Also, Rizzitano has a chapter on this variation in How to Beat 1 d4, from Black's perspective again, though.

In SOS vol. 7 Bosch deals with the variation 1.d4 d5 2.Bg5 f6 (appr. 10 pages), rather from Black's point of view.
Cox devotes a short chapter (6 pages) to the variation 2...h6 in his "Dealing with d4 Deviations". Also from Black's point of view.

No personal experience - as White, I'd go 1.d4 d5 2.c4, and as Black 1.d4 Nf6 - sorry for that!  Smiley

There is a book by Plaskett - "Queen's Pawn Attack Revealed", but the reviews are quite poor

Probably this was already discussed, but I couldn't find it. 
a)Does any theory book / article exist on 1.d4 d5 2.Bg5?
b)And what's your experience / opinion about this system?

Thanks
