Hi,

My dad was about to give away this book to Goodwill, however, something was not sitting with me in just giving it away. I looked into the book and according to this website, the book appears to be a 5th state book as it was printed in Thailand. Its in really good condition without a jacket flap, not sure if my father threw it away. However, I wanted to know if it's worth anything, and if so, how much? This pandemic really has us short in money as we were laid off from work. Attached is a photo of the cover.

I would wager to say you’re just as well giving it away, it’s really not worth anything substantial, even with the jacket. You can read ‘printing’ for ‘state’; that edition just gave no print information. They printed a ton of those.

And especially with the new editions from HarperCollins, and Houghton Mifflin's boxed set still being in print, there isn't really a "demand" on the marketplace for an illustrated copy.

I'd say keep it - unless you have no interest whatsoever of doing so.
