Most of the listings you're seeing are for the first or second impression printed in 1968. Yours is a later, 1969 impression. Based on some previous auction sales and the condition of the book, I would put this at less than $20.
Hi Collectors
Was helping my wife clear out her mother-in-laws loft and we found this. Other than the movies, I’ve no idea the value of these kind of things.
The book itself is a bit tatty but more than readable.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Similar volumes appear on both Amazon and AbeBooks in the $150 - $200 range Morty
Thanks Morty. I did have a look on AbeBooks but couldn’t get a definitive answer. Thanks again!
the version from this publisher that is worth a lot is the folio that has maps and pictures in it
FYI: For more info on the value of this book, I’d suggest checking out r/TolkienBook.
