Interesting to note that it appears to give prices in $$ (USD).

Guys,

This is a great book with lots of images and details, like variations, mint and factory marks, etc. Price are in USD indeed. Price in Moscow is about $3, which is a bargain for such a reference.

Alexei,

Where abouts in Moscow can you buy this book, any bookshop in particular? I have a friend who will be over from Moscow soon, so I can ask him to get me a copy and bring it over, if you give me the name and address of the bookshop you're referring to. Thanks.

Kind Regards,
Shane Cook.

Alexei, Shane,

880 rubles, that's close to $30, not $3!
