The value of old books is determined by their rarity and condition. To know the answer to this question one would have to know what edition of Shakespeare's Complete Works this is, how rare it is, and what condition it is in.

Mine isn't quite that old. It is impossible to estimate the value of old books without actually knowing their condition. It also helps to know what quality of materials are used and whether this is a particularly rare edition.

You can get a copy at a rummage sale for fifty cents as likely as not. Or you can get a multi-volume set bound in calf leather with gilt pages for a thousand dollars of so.

The binding is what makes the difference; the words inside are priceless.

An original book, written by him by hand could be worth millions to the right person. It would be written, not printed.

It depends entirely on the quality of the original edition and its current condition.
