My initial impression (from TOC) was that it might be great for someone wanting to learn the concepts. After reading the sample of chapter 9, I changed my mind. This is more for those that already understand the basics of the concepts and show them in practical game use. Lots of little gold nuggets though.
I am kind of confused. Do you mean it is useful to you and you will read it or not?

Quoting someone is not answering my question.

Thanks, I got the book and feeling excited, sincerely hope that will help me to make progress

Yes that was my impression as well, when I read the 2nd volume. But I would have liked to read pawn structure chess(soltis) then both volumes next.
After learning the pawn formations reading positional chess (sakaev) makes more sense.
I have found one link that lists 42 formations, but I will do more search and let you know.
