Great book with plenty of tips and tricks and fantastic variations. The problem is only grandmasters play like this! Club and online players, well, they deviate from these variations (at least in the games I've played) before all the excitement begins. Fun to read to but frustrating to play because you rarely get to these fantastically analyzed variations. I keep trying, though, to get into these Austrian Atttack pitched battles.
