The book is primarily a problem book, divided into sections 15k to 5k, 5k to 1k and dan level. There follows excerpts from four professional games where edge plays were instrumental in deciding the game. The book may be too specialised to make much difference to your game, but it’s definitely a fun read with some surprising formations. It was reviewed in BGJ 152.
