   I’d suggest Tony Kostens Book this is an opening that requires lots of studying and work if you want to play it really well.

   Good Luck!

   I highly recommend a book called "starting out: sicilian najdorf" by Richard Palliser. It is published by Everyman Chess. This entire series is fantastic for learning a new line as it has many illustrations and it explains in detail the ideas behind the moves. This is so much better than just memorizing long lines of chess theory without understanding what you’re trying to accomplish. Sooner or later your opponent will not play the ‘book move’ and you will be lost, but if you understand what you’re trying to accomplish and the key ‘battle squares’ of an opening, you will always have a plan to fall back on.

   You can purchase either the Book or the eBook or the CD that’s interactive at: http://www.everymanchess.com/chess/books/Starting_Out%3A_Sicilian_Najdorf

   This will make you confident playing this line in a very short amount of time. Good Luck!
