I need a book recommendation: The Rossolimo (Bb5) system

Hi, I need a recommendation to learn the Bb5 variation (particularly that following 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5)

I have found this book, but I am in need of a community opinion of what is the best book. Thanks!

I don't have that book, but I have three opening books by Palliser and think he's a very good author. 

HI shuttlechess92

I recently got Neil McDonald's book The Sicialian Bb5 Revealed by Batsford.  Although it is well written, i don't like the organization.  I know it's old fashioned but i like a book to give main variations and subvariations withthe author's opinions.  The book has chapters, like Strategy, What's Hot, Tricks and Traps, Test Positions, Heroes and Zeros, etc.  Not to my liking.   It does include the Moscow and Rossilimo Variations.  costs about 20 bucks from Amazon.

As for the opening itself, although i'm not rated as high as you, I didn't like exchanging off my bishop to get a close to equal position as white.  I like the English Attack and Keres attack (if allowed).  They seem to give more "pull" but I guess it's all according to taste.

For out-of-print fans, there is the 1984 intro book: The Anti-Sicilian: 3 Bb5 (+) by Yuri Razuvayev and Alexander Matsukevitch published by American Chess Promotions. It may not have the latest recommendations, but I find these older books pretty good for general advice and a guide to the main ideas (which never change).

I have the Palliser book, but it is a bit difficult for a non-expert or someone trying to get a good grip on the opening.

Also, he doesn't really go deeply into the most common lines you'll see after 3. Bb5 a6, challenging the Bishop immediately. It's genrally considered a bad waste of time, but I see it in half my games. 

A book I found very useful was "The Chess Advantage In Black And White" by Larry Kaufman.  It is a complete repertoire for both sides, but it does explain the Bb5 lines against the Sicilian very well.

well, is it explaining white or black's moves?

Both white and black.

I have the book the OP mentioned and it seems quite good, though I haven't read much of it yet. There is not a whole lot of explanation, but there is enough to understand what is going on in the positions. Palliser is quite objective in this book as well, and provides good analysis of most of the lines in the Moscow/Rossolimo complex. He doesn't seem to favour one side over the other, which is the advantage of this book over a repertoire book. Plus you have a wide variety of lines to choose from.The advantage of a repertoire book is, of course, that the author has less lines to cover and therefore can explore them more deeply. I don't think this is 2000+ rating material either. Players 1600 and up should be able to make use of it, although being 1800+ is probably ideal. If you want 2000+ reading material, take a look at books from Quality Chess and Chess Stars publishing, although I find them useful and I am almost certainly less than 1900 strength OTB. Palliser is a really good author too. I have 5 opening books of his, all of them are from everyman, and all of them are good.
