I'm not sure what this book is about

I think it's an attempt to create some kind of book for the very beginners. It's not a guide to chess openings, as it lists only some of them, gives only few first moves without discussing or even mentioning possible variants. It then concentrates on tips for beginners and brings few full games from the past with a minimum commentary. Chapter 19 is titled "Chess Opening Theory" (almost identical to the title of Chapter 1), in which author declares that "the person who wins the game is often decided in the first five moves". Unfortunately there is nothing more in this chapter, apart from a promise of examples of daredevils openings, at which points the chapter ends. Follows the last chapter "New Opening Trends", in which author is analysing one of Kasparov's middle-game position and swiftly concludes the book. Nothing about new trends. This book will not be of any use to players who want to improve their opening game. It could have some worth for beginners if not for being riddled with errors like f2 instead of f7 or g2 instead of Bg2 and text making no sens, like the chapter on IQP Evolution. In keeping with the rest of the book, the page titled "Table of Contents" is empty.
