Despite its being composed of more than a dozen volumes, it does not exceed the chapters of Salat.
The book is full of beneficial research and original points, but keep in mind that the author was a bit harsh towards the opposition.
As far as I know, there is no translation of the book available nor is it likely that one will be done.
Allamah Kashmiri's notes on Bukhari have also been compiled in Arabic under the title Fayd al-Bari, which is an excellent collection of his commentaries on the ahadith and proves his depth of knowledge of all the Islamic sciences, particularly fiqh and hadith. I believe it is also available online.
