Is this a good book for protozoa identification?

The title is How To Know the Protozoa, from the Pictured Key Nature Series. I have read the one for freshwater algae as my library had it.
If I can get it for $30 should I jump on it?

I cannot tell you to take a $30 leap, but the book is good.

If you don't mind a used copy, here are some alternative sources (right column):

(I find bookfinder.com a useful resource for finding reasonably priced used books).

If you said to leap I would say how high. I asked my library to buy it, but I don't think I want to wait. If it is anything like the algae
book it would be awesome, and they ship UPS!
