I did better on the price on mine, but yours is in better condition. Got mine as a library discard for 10 cents. Unfortunately I have no idea where it is anymore. I haven't seen it in 25 years and I have moved eight times since then.
Conder: It may have just sold: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=330236936908&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=014
Nah, mine didn't have the covered spine and corners, but almost all the gilt was gone from the front cover.
I didn't realize you can buy the commemorative reprint of the 1947. Saw it on the bookshelf at Borders tonight.
Picked up another early edition red book (tenth edition) at a thrift store. Not near as nice as the 1947 but it was on sale for 99 cents. Now I only have 7 more books to go to complete a year set of red books. Nighthawk
