    I found this in my local library giveaway pile. Is it a keeper?

    Very unlikely. I suggest you go to abebooks.com and search for comparable volumes on offer. That will give you an idea of rarity and value. And, do keep in mind that, in book collecting, most of the time old doesn't equal valuable.

    Out of all the antiques and collectable markets, old books is one of the ones that is most dead for resalable items. Right up there with cheap vintage artwork.

    So not a keeper (as the library realized) but no big investment on your part, either. Nice graphics on the cover, maybe you could find some use for it.

    Perhaps show it to the choir director at your church? Might be some ideas in there - "new" hymns that haven't been heard in decades?
