Whats the worth of a book The Thrilling Story of Joe DiMaggio by Gene Schoor Frederick Fell Inc?
Well, I came across the same book in some stuff I purchased and was wondering myself. I looked on the internet under the title of the book and there was 1 sale. It went for $175, however, the book that sold had over 20 autographs including those of Dom DiMaggio, Duke Snyder and a few others on the inside of the back cover autograph section. I'd deduct because neither your book or mine have the autographs; say $30-$50 bucks. you might be able to find someone that would give you more just from the collector's side of things.
