Burger's book is now out of print, being a most extensive and important study on this period of Ch'ing dynasty cash, originally a doctoral dissertation to the University of Munich. The author has observed minute variations in the general cash issues and from the original Chinese sources was able to establish a chronology on a yearly basis for all the mints for the Chinese rulers from 1616-1735. The second study completing the issues of cash to 1910 was never published.
