Who is the leading expert on the Classical Sicilian?

SwimmerBill

I worked through his book and found it so so. He has video lectures on it that I think are really good as well as fun. His ideas and personality come thru much better on screen I think.  The 'Easy guide to the Classical...' I think is really good. I have Kozul's book and I dont know what to think about it. It seems like it is somewhere between analysis and optimism.  (On another site I have 2 studies of the classical (Boleslavsky & Rauzer) with a lot of current games.)
