ReviewsMost readers will welcome the fact that the authors have included a wide variety of alternatives, and looked at them with such a critical eye. The London is no longer a plodders 'system, as with so much GM interest it's becoming as critical as many erstwhile noble openings. This will be the reference work on the complete London System for years to come.
