Chess Openings for White, Explained: Winning with 1.e4

What do you guys think about the popular "Chess Openings for White, Explained: Winning with 1.e4" I've been using it for the white sIde of my game for about a week now; I still have a Long way to go if I want to have the full repertoire at my fingertips while i play. . Has anybody actually absorbed the material in it's entirety and applied it as their full repertoire? What do you think of it?

All thoughts welcome, Thanks.

I use selected chunks of it, but not the whole thing. 

I am a little shaky about the Scotch Gambit which is recommended in the book. Personally I would prefer studying the Ruy Lopez, as gambitting may not be in everyone's taste.

The 150 Page on French (assuming was done by Roman - I watched his video lectures and he detests the French) seems interesting, though it tells us to dive into the main lines.

Playing the Grand Prix against the Sicilian does not match the theme of Scotch Gambit. If you plan on playing the Scotch against ...e5, the Open Sicilian might be better as the main ideas are similar. However it does serve as a good surprise weapon so knowing both the Open and Grand Prix against the Sicilian will do good.

The Caro Kann, Scandinavian, Alekhine section was good, it has all the info a beginner needs. I wish they cover more of the Modern defence proper as it is assumed that it always transpose back to pirc, when it does not always do so.

Dunno about that book, but I am enjoying Pete Tamburro's new book Openings for Amateurs which presents a coherent overall repertoire for both sides and advice on choosing openings to play. (1.e4 is favoured.)

The book is also available in interactive form on the Forward Chess app platform.

Thanks for the comment. Yes I was kind of wishing it was the Ruy Lopez instead, but it's fun to learn something new? The advantages don't seem particularly large in some of the lines of the scotch gambit. Some even seem lost, but the computer finds a better alternative. -- A lot of people think poorly about the closed sicilian, and I happen to be very poor at that structure. The King's Indian Attack Grand Prix, closed sicilian strucures are really confusing to me. I miss winning tactical shots constantly in the position.-- I am confused about the French part as well. Why did he make it so huge? He couldn't have simply picked French advanced? I think it would have limited black's options or the lines so it wouldn't be 70% of the book. (maybe then he could have done open sicilian)

I don't know much about French because I don't play it as Black, but I'm pretty sure the Advanced variation is what a Black player wants - the tension is already fixed in the centre. I assume the chapters on French were done to add more pages to the book (but it doesn't hurt to learn the lines anyway). 

Theory on the Open Sicilian and the Ruy is too huge, it might take a book to cover all the variations, so it is understandable that they shrink that section of the book. Scotch gambit and Grand prix are in essence, a sideline so I think the best we can hope for is that our opponent don't know theory and go wrong (or spend long time on the clock while we play our openings quick because we know what we are doing).
