Book for ID purposes (and pretty pics!)

Does anyone have the COmpendium of Landshells by Tucker Abbott?
I've been trying to buy it for years but it has always been really expensive (£130+). Just found it for £40 in the states, so have snaffled it up. It says it has 240 pages and 2000+ pictures in it...That is a lot of snails! I know most of them won't be GALS, but i'm hoping that there will be some useful info in there...If not at least i didn't spend too much on it!

the link should take you to the google image of the book cover...

Let me know if you have heard of this and if it is any good...

Yes i have that book and it has a small chapter on Gals in it,with about 36 pictures of shells.
It is really a very beautiful book and well worth the 40 pounds I think.
