I don't know whether we need to add "S" at the end of the word hundred/thousand or not.

I read two books and they have different wording. One say yes, the other say no. Don't know why?
Sentences are below:

1.He has several hundred dollars.
2.He has several thousands books.

[Mister Micawber]

.
No -s except in the case of several thousands of dollars.

Are you sure that you transcribed the second sentence accurately?
