You can look up the title on the Internet browser. If you cannot find it, then probably its only worth the price of the book, not too much more.

Oh how fascinating! What's it called? I love finding old cookbooks. That being said, it's only worth a lot of money to only the right person. I've bought some from 70 years ago for 25 cents at yard sales. I consider those a HUGE bargain for what I was getting. I would have gladly paid $5 for it.

There is no one definitive guide to determining the value of books. Generally speaking, like everything collectable, an item is "worth" as much as someone is willing to pay for it. "Book values" of books are relative to many factors - condition of the book, popularity of the author, scarcity of the printing, availability on the book market, and much much more.
If you can find it...Check out this Book
The Official Price Guide to Old Books & Autographs, Seventh Edition, New York, House of Collectibles, 1988. Out of date, which isn't a good thing for a price guide, but a helpful resource in some ways.

It's worth more in America than in Europe, that's for sure. There's probably no ISBN, so it's hard to look up the value online. You can check with your local culinary schools or antique bookstores for its value. look them up on your yellowpages. If you're in Miami, I'd suggest Books & Books in Coral Gables.

You can have an auction house look that info up for you. Should be worth something good. I would love to hear some recipes from it.

If it has the name "Escoffier" on it and is in French, I'll take it!
