The definitive guide to one of Britain’s most famous coins, The Guinea. This book covers the history and varieties for this coin from its introduction during the reign of Charles II through to its end during the reign of George III when the Sovereign came was introduced as a replacement. Included with this book is a separate, eight-page, price guide.
 
That's the official blurb. From my point of view, this is an incredible book that is lavishly illustrated throughout showing many close up pictures of varieties and variations for each year. There is interesting information on the mints, including a plan of the Tower of London mint. A great book.
