Second hand copy of Withers' British Token Book available for sale

No, it's not by me, but I have just found out about a second hand copy of The Token Book: British Tokens of the 17th, 18th and 19th Centuries and Their Values by Paul Withers which is available for sale from the publishers Galata Print. I have had a very hard time trying to find a copy of this book and when I contacted the publishers to see if there were any plans for a reprint, this is what they had to say:

The book is out of print and has been unavailable for quite a while. We are considering a new edition, but it would be well over a year before we could do anything about it as we have several other publishing projects on the go at the moment.

We have however just bought in a secondhand copy of the book. The paper edges are a little dusty and spotty, but internally clean and virtually unused. Priced at £100 incl. postage. (A copy was recently sold on ebay, not by us, for £130 !)

Unfortunately, the price is a little out of my league but if anyone is interested, they can either go to the website at www.galata.co.uk or they could probably email Bente Withers direct at bente@galata.co.uk .

I have to check past prices of this book to compare and also if they ship out of the UK.
no Brexit yet at least.
That will definitively affect my spending on British auction houses in future.

​I've been hunting for one of these for a while, not because I collect tokens as such, more to assist with my refereeing duties. UK web searches show Waterstones were selling at £35 or £48 (oh, I wish) but sadly, they are not available; Amazon show one used copy available at £267 (what a liberty!); Blackwell's have a listing but it's not available; Bookdepository.com show a list price of £48 but it's current unavailable; AbeBooks.co.uk show one available at a whopping £734.92 (plus £25.52 shipping)!
In case you are interested, Bente Withers did say they bought the copy they have for £80.
