How much $$...I wouldn't have a clue.

I have a copy or two around here somewhere from my youth when a "short course" of such was taught/presented at Grange Youth Camp...mostly sentimental value to me.

Don't know what it is worth but I have one that is copy wrighted to 1955. There is a wealth of information in the back of it and is pretty interesting to browse through. I will never get rid of mine.

They normally sell for $20 to $30. I collect them as do a lot of people. Already have that issue. If you put an ad in the photo ads it will probably go quick.

I've seen them at toy shows, flea markets, etc. for 12 - 15 bucks.

I have one that is printed probably in the late 20's to early 30's. I can't find a date in it. In the front is says, "With the compliments of John Deere, Manufacturer of Quality Implements for nearly a century". I am not to sharp on Deere's but the tractor pictured looks like it might be a model D. A lot of the book is about about horse drawn equipment. Interesting book.

John Deere put them out every year, for many
years. Some attempt to collect them as a set .

Everyone has pretty much answered your question, but I would add that 57 was the last year/volume printed.
