I bought one at a used book store (a 1939) for $.50. That is 50 cents.

1938 wasn't a first edition or anything like that that would make it unusually valuable, so it's probably not worth anything. It is from one of the years that would have the infamous "dord", so it might be worth a couple of bucks to a collector of esoterica.

(So what's up with dord? An editor submitted a slip intended to mean that the letters D or d could be used as an abbreviation for density. However, the slip was misinterpreted and a new entry "dord" was created with that meaning. This first appeared in the 1934 edition and wasn't caught for several years.)
