Guy Thuillier. 1983.  PB 450 pages and not a single picture !

Ouvrage publié avec le concours du Centre national de la Recherche scientifique.

Begins with the money reforms of 1785, and then passes to the next reforms in l'an XI, the troubles of 1803 and 1808, the crisis of 1810.  The speculation on gold and silver in 1857 gets a chapter - and there is lots more.  Nothing about coins, but it all ties in.  French text throughout.

A few annotations, otherwise nice clean s/hand, contents vg. The new price is 63 euros.
