Sheesh. I bought Alekhine's My Best games, volume one and two, around 1990. Let me dig it up and get back to you.

Are you thinking about playing the Sicilian as black, or against it as white?

i'm just thinking of getting the book to use it as a study guide...

but someone said there were no kings indians in it....which is ok cause i play 1.e4.....and then they said there were no sicilians in it....

really i'm just trying to copy his repertoire.

against it as white would be the answer.

Well keep in mind the theory will be 70 years old, but Alekhine was an opening master and does have a lot of comments when he feels an opening line could be improved on. Hope you dont mind descriptive notation because I dont think its available in algebraic.
