 Netherlands - Scheveningen
This is the Scheveningen that bars out the intrusive stranger and foreigner by its own high dykes of custom, reserve and sturdy independence; that refuses to be patronized, and shows its very heart, finely and appealingly human, only when it realizes that the stranger, or foreigner, approaches it with human sympathy apart from idle curiosity.

They are poor, proud, sturdily independent —no beggars are among the Scheveningen folk—haughty almost in their carriage, which is noticeably fine, clannish, intermarrying with their own, never eager to make acquaintance with strangers, and pursuing their calling of fish-catching and fish-selling with the conscious pride of professionals.

I'd like to learn about the Scheveningen so I don't know if a book on the Najdorf will be right.
(The other 1/2 would be the Najdorf.) What I prefer in the Scheveningen compared to a lot of other Sicilian variations is that Black makes logical developing moves that aren't risky and the fact that he gets an extremely solid position that can repel any quick attacks that White might create.
The dividing line is not exactly clear, but the main difference is that the Najdorf is characterised by Black playing e5 and the Scheveningen by Black playing e6.
