There are 2 fares guides for zones 1-6 and zones 7-9. You can view them

Before reading this in full, I had no idea that the system was so
ridiculously complicated - it must completely baffle the visitor from
overseas. And even such a long document appears to give up at some
points - e.g. saying there are special fares on some overground
journeys, "ask at your local station for details".

It was also out-of-date even when first issued. It claims you can use
Oyster on National Rail services between West Hampstead and Moorgate -
would be interesting for TfL to suggest what route to take.

No it wasn't, when it was issued the Moorgate branch of Thameslink was
still in operation, it didn't close until 22 March.
