Gutting a book means quickly establishing the book’s thesis (i.e. the main point the author is trying to make), together with the main lines of argument and the main evidence used to support those arguments. It can be a prelude to more detailed reading, or you might never need to look at the book again, depending on what you are trying to do and what you need to find out.
