Winning Chess Openings Book

Inspired by an encounter with an old friend, I've been trying to rebuild my chess game. It's a challenge at this age, and one of the things I've lost is my opening theory, so I thought this little book might help me remember. But it's very much a survey and doesn't have enough depth to be really useful. It helped me recall a few things, but only because I once knew them. For a beginner, about all it would do is help you find the names of different openings. It's better on king pawn openings than queen pawn openings and mostly ignores everything else.
