I bought Hobson's book "Historic Gold Coins of the World" on ebay a couple of months ago for a similar price. It is a simple book but it has great enlarged color photos of various historical gold coins with interesting information abouts the countries/coins. It is one of my favorites, "my numismatic coffee table book"

Don't rely on it for pricing information, obviously.
