Water damage does affect the value of old books.
One idea is to see if a similar one is for sale on ebay, and this would give you some idea.
Otherwise, you could take it to a second hand bookshop that specialises in old, collectible books and get them to value it for you.
Hope this helps:>)

It's not worth anything. Anybody can get the material in any book shop and the edition is nothing special of itself. Treasure it because it's a beautiful thing, packed with gigantic ideas and feelings and because your son bought it for you.

It's not going to be worth a fortune as it's not an original folio and it's not in perfect nick but I would figure somewhere between £50 - £1,000 depending on it's collectability.

It may be antique value, but there could be a reprint of the same which may cost around 15 Pounds.
