Values for books depends on rarity, condition and demand. This book's in poor shape, and reprints of it are available for about $25.00, so I can't see it being worth $300.00. I'll check around and see what an original is going for.

Re: Original Travelers Official Guide to Railway & Steam Navigat

Thanks for your response. I've searched the internet and only found one auction of an original, so far - and you had to subscribe to the site to find out what the final auction result was. None came up on bookfinder, and a google search with ebay included in the search terms also came up with nothing. So I'm wondering just how rare it is - despite the condition!

I checked around and nobody had one. This is not unusual as the guide went out of date every year like a phone book and was discarded. So I guess the value is what ever the seller can get for it.
