Is anyone familiar with this book?

I found a book on Amazon dealing with coins of Northern Europe and Russia, and I'm kind of curious about it. There are absolutely no customer reviews of it, and I don't want to spend my money on it without knowing anything about it, so I was wondering if anyone here was familiar with it.

I'm not familiar with the book, but Cuhaj and Michaels are part of the Krause Publications Standard Catalog of World Coins team, so my guess is the book has a whole lot of good information.

 

I agree. If Krause published the book it is probably a decent book.

 

I disagree. If you are into Russian coins, you should get V.V. Uzdenikov 1700-1917 Russian coins, second edition. Don't get the third edition as it is confusing. This is the standard for Imperial Russian coins and this is the best value for your money.

There's another seller on ebay by the username valeria (something close) that offers excellent catalog books. A bit pricy though.
