Although there are rare stamps, in general WWII food ration stamps in a book of stamps (with some missing) are worth $2 to $5. An absolutely new book of stamps (unsigned) might be worth $10 or more. A book of stamps signed by someone famous would, of course, be worth even more. Loose stamps (not in a book) are generally worthless - a few pennies, if that.

Is it simply a book about the stamps? The catalog or purchase price of stamps can be found by consulting a catalog, usually available in the reference section of your library. Selling is usually at 25% of that price.
