Well, ya can't hardly beat the price....
226 pages of text, keys 212 species from the United States and Canada, 160 figs., all for $6 plus S&H...

I suspect it's fairly good for the west. I'm not sure, but it might be sans flea beetles (before they were lumped in).

I'll order a copy shortly.

FYI, I'm drafting a page for Texas chrysomelids.
