I just bought an original Wurtzbach

No, not the pipe organ, I mean the classic book by Carl Wurtzbach on Massachusetts Silver Coins (featuring fantastic plates of his own coins), published in 1937.

You know throughout the Ford Mass Silver catalog where it said ex-Wurtzbach? Well, this is what they meant.

    I'd never really heard of this book. What's in it? Mainly pictures of Wurtzbach's coins or does he also tell the history of the coinage? How long is the book? From where did you acquire the book? And, though it's tacky and if you don't want to reply, that's fine, what's a ball park estimate for the cost of a copy?

    Thanks in advance.
