   I’m assuming you own the book and you’re trying to find out how much it costs? It depends if the book is a first PRINTING and a first edition of the book. I’m not sure how the print lines were handled back in 1947 (those numbers you see on copyright pages; they usually go 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1). If any of those numbers are missing, you don’t have a first printing, which can and will detract from the value of the book. I think the most you could probably get would be, perhaps, $ 30, $ 40? The book is printed often, so it’s not like there’s a large demand for it.
