I'm a big fan of Giger too. I couldn't find much in terms of gallery sites except for the occasional fansite which always have wicked long urls and I'm always too forgetful to bookmark. I'd do a search on Google.

Oh, and if you're looking for a good book of Giger's art, check out "Giger's Alien." It's a great, high quality, large-paged scrapbook of his paintings and photographs of his sculptues that he did for the movie, (you guessed it) Alien. It'll set you back around 25 bucks but it's worth it.

I'm with you, 70 bucks is WAY too much to spend on a book that's made from a few bucks worth of paper and ink. But, I did buy The Art of the Matrix for 65 so I probably shouldn't say anything.

At that same Borders you might find a 5 buck agenda/calendar thing like I did and check out a bunch of his cool art. I ended up turning all of it into a collage calendar that will never be out-dated (man, I love my computer). I NEVER have to buy a calendar again. Of course, it doesn't mean I wont. But I digress.
