When the market for books were strong, a clean copy that didn't have any major problems would be worth around $2500-3000. Using that as a guide, deduct something for the condition problems, as well as the fact that the book market isn't what it used to be. But that particular volume is still in demand, partly because the McLoughlin Bros. were among the finest of the late 19th century lithographers.
