Summary: The Opening Book for the Serious Student
Comment: This is the "GrandMaster" of opening books. I am a Master and I teach chess for a living. When my students want to learn an opening, or need a one volume reference for learning new openings, this is the book I recommend to them. A "MUST" for the Postal player! There is more information and fewer mistakes in this book, than any opening compendium I have ever seen! WARNING: If you are a casual chess player, or looking for for a book to help you improve and learn something, this is not the book you seek. This is a book for very serious chess players. If you have never used an opening book before, you will find this book a very difficult "read." Its just lines and recommendations for what is best in the openings. There are a great deal of symbols and lines that end with an evaluation like "White is slightly better." There is nothing that explains why White is better. Unless this type of dialogue would be useful to you, you are better off not buying this book.

Summary: Makes a Good Openings Reference Book
Comment: I got this book just to have a book with some lines that were more up to date than "The Ideas Behind the Chess Openings" by Reuben Fine... This book is NOT for beginners or newly-achieved amateurs. Each openings chapter gives a short essay on the idea of the opening, but I would definitely have to direct anyone pursuing greater openings understanding to Reuben Fine's book, "The Ideas Behind the Chess Openings". Nunn's book makes a great reference book for openings, but one must realize that today's chess tournament life is constantly in pursuit of an opening that is more surprising or forgotten (thus newer or older respectively) than what was played in the few previous years...Don't take up a lot of your time trying to get through every move of even one chapter of this book. Just use it as a reference book.
