Has anybody read the book, Sicilian Kalashnikov (Everyman Chess)? I've been doing research on the opening, and the book looks good, but it was published in 2001. To anyone who may have the book, is it up to date?, or has theory on the Kalashnikov surpassed the book, rendering it not quite as useful.
Perhaps this is the old book that was under discussion (back in 2012):
Sicilian Kalashnikov by Jan Pinski & Jacob Aagaard (2001)

A more recent possibility (in case anyone is still around and cares): The Complete Kalashnikov by Matthieu Conette & Fabien Libiszweski (2013)

Hi there, the 2001 book is very good. However, there is an even older book by Sveshnikov that is even better. I do not remember the title, it was a yellow book. At the time I loved the Sveshnikov's book as it explains all the plans and the typical tactical and strategical ideas. Both are great!
Could you be thinking of The Sicilian Pelikan?
