I don't have an answer as to best books. I happen to have three books handy, and they give four lines after 50-0: f6, Bg4, Be7, and Qf6. My future focus is likely to be Bg4. After 6h3, both h5 and Bh5 are interesting. I've had good results with the relatively neglected 5...Bd6. It's so obvious, no one plays it!

I'm also not aware of any books covering 5...Qd6 from Black's perspective, but I always thought it was a decent line, just not trendy (possibly because 5...Qf6 is considered a slight refinement of the idea).
  

All our dreams come true if we have the courage to pursue them.

What line is reccommended in "Ruy Lopez: a Guide for Black" by Johnsen and Johannessen (Gambit, 2007)[...]?

5...f6 and as an alternative 5...Ne7.

In my opinion, the preface by Leif Johannessen (15 pages!), where he describes how he learnes a new opening, is worth the price of the book alone.

I´m not aware of any book recommending this line for Black, but surely books covering the Ruy Exchange for White or in general will cover it.

Thx....What line is reccommended in "Ruy Lopez: a Guide for Black" by Johnsen and Johannessen (Gambit, 2007), vs the Exchange, and, in general, is there any book dealing with the 5...Qd6 line in some detailed way?

I find the coverage in "Playing 1.e4 e5" by Ntirlis impressive. In the main line he recommends 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Bxc6 dxc6 5.0-0 Bg4.

What are the best books dealing with the Exchange Ruy from Black's perpective? I have seen Bologan dealing with the ...Ne7 and ...Be7 lines in some detailed way... Any other good books? Perhaps dealing with the main line ...f6, or the ...Qd6 line?
