Kurzbeschreibung
The Grand Prix Attack is one of White's most aggressive ways of fighting the Sicilian. It leads to a sharp, complex battle from the very beginning, and White's play is characterized by its lightning attacks against the black king. The opening became a powerful weapon to use in the cut and thrust of weekend tournament chess, where victory is everything and draws are not enough. It steadily became more popular and even gained the seal of approval from some of the world's elite such as the UK's top two Grandmasters, Nigel Short and Michael Adams, who have both utilized it with success. In this book Gawain Jones, a Grand Prix Attack expert, studies this opening in a clear-cut and enjoyable way, introducing the key moves and ideas, and taking care to explain the reasoning behind them - something that has often been neglected or taken for granted. Everyman Chess' "Starting Out" series has firmly established itself as the leading guide to studying openings for up-and-coming players. These books are distinguished by their easy-to-read layout, the lucid explanations of the fundamentals, and the abundance of notes, tips and warnings to help the reader absorb vital ideas. "Starting Out" opening books are ideal for enthusiastic chess players who have little experience of the openings in question and who wish to appreciate the essential principles behind them. All the main lines are covered. It includes bonus chapters on the fashionable 2 Nc3 Nc6 3 Bb5. It is ideal for improving players. "Starting Out: Sicilian Grand Prix Attack" is a further addition to Everyman's best-selling "Starting Out" series, which has been acclaimed for its original approach to tackling chess openings. International Master Gawain Jones revisits the fundamentals of this opening, elaborating on the crucial early moves and ideas for both sides in a way that is often neglected in other texts.

I was amazed when reading this book how many easy-looking victories white could fight out with this opening, mostly following the same pattern (Qe1-h4, f5, Bh6, Ng5). You can hardly evite the conclusion that the gpa is an interesting, and by far not drawish alternative to 2.Nf3. As for the black side, the more useful it should be to dedicate some time to this opening.
As for the book itself, i can only tell positive things about it. It is slightly in favour of white, of cause, as the auther uses it regulary in his practice (wich in my view is a plus for the book), but he is far from being impartial or ardent to underestimate blacks possibilities to equalize.
The author has been very diligent in his work, used e.g. mega-database 2007 and a lot of other opening books. He collaborated namely with N. Palliser, who had published a big chapter about the gpa in his recent book, and it seems that jones found some improvements.
Very positive in my view is the fact that, not like many other, mainly british opening books (i am german, elo 2000) it does not present you just a collection of annotated games, but really, say, the full theory; of cause, plenty of games are included.
The layout is fine. A good idea is also to put two diagrams together in a row, this saves a lot of space. As you have a double-diagram at nearly every page, having a 1-column-text as here, you could suggest the book to have been about 30 pages thicker (and consequentally more expensive) with the traditional layout.
To sum it up this book is a good deal and worth its money, and of great interest for the attacker as well as for the defender. For the latter a little tip: think about 2.-a6 to confront 2.Nc3! - There is one chapter about it in the book (pointing out that only f4/g3 could give white an edge), plus 2.-d5 3.ed Nf6!? to confront 2.f4, then you will hopefully not have to worry about the gpa any more! :)
