Joe,
  I believe that this volume is still available from the Delaware Museum of
Natural History, they folks who published it.  I will disagree slightly
with Paul as to its usefulness.  I agree that for strict identification, it
has been replaced by Poppe and Goto.  However, if you want to be a student
of the family Volutidae, then it is important to know how earlier
researchers viewed the family.  Here it becomes essential.  Thus if you
only want to identify Volutes, get Poppe and Goto; if you want to be a
student of the Volutes, get both.
