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.

I bought mine in "Molodaya Gvardia" for 880 Roubles.

Alexei, Shane,

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