A fellow exonumismaniac located in the UK sent me this tip earlier this week, but since I stopped collecting that century some 20 years ago I'll be passing on this bargain.

Coinage and Currency in Eighteenth-Century Britain. The Provincial Coinage by David Dykes, 2011, 383 pages, illustrated throughout with tokens, portraits, satirical cartoons, and other historical memorabilia, large format, red cloth, dust jacket.
