A few years ago I had that book, and for a long time I played the Nge2 line because it was recommended in Raymond Keene's "An Opening Repertoire for White" (1984) which formed the basis of my opening play with White. I had some success, including one nice win with a bishop sacrifice on h5 (I think there's a section devoted to that tactical theme in the Easy Guide book), but eventually I decided to switch to a different system. The problem was against just about all other openings I put the King's knight on f3, and I never became fully comfortable playing positions with it on g3. From g3 it doesn't really stop Black's pawn advance f7-f5 (at least in my games it didn't), and if the knight is attacked and has to move it may have nowhere to go other than h1, an awkward square for it.

Anyone have any thoughts on this book, or on the Nge2 KID in general?
