It would be best to find someone who collects antique books or Mormon memorabilia to appraise the book after seeing it in person. They will need to know the edition, condition, and history of the book and be able to authenticate the signature to know what it's real value is. 1830 (not 1930) Book of Mormons have been able to fetch over $100,000 at auction.
Although it is technically just a way to name an edition of a book, "Publisher's Edition" might imply that the book contains material that the author did not originally intend to be included, or it might suggest that the publishers have created an abridged (or edited) version of the original text. ANSWER Allowing that experience with terms in the book industry varies. "publisher's edition" usually refers to an edition that is not printed for and distributed by a book club -- a so-called "bookclub edition." The designation is important because bookclub editions are rarely collectible. Thus, a used-book offering will specify "publisher's edition" to justify a higher price than could be commanded for the same book in a "bookclub edition."
