1912 New Websterian Dictionary Illustrated?

An old dictionary.I had recently come across this. I inherited my late friend's belongings. This isn't in very good shape. But I'm wondering if it's worth anything.

Dictionaries, even if antique, are generally worth very little, unless they are a first edition or signed by someone important.

It's always nice to think that something could/should have value when it has survived many perils for over 110 years, but, sadly, that is not usually the case.

I really doubt that your book would be valued at more than $10-$15 and may take a long time to sell - if it even sold.
Some people will buy older books because of the illustrations, but maps are the favorites. Does this edition have a lot of illustrations/maps?
Here is an example of someone that just doesn't seem to be able to accept the fact that just being old does not mean it is valuable:
This book has been listed for sale for over 4 years:

This one sold for $99.99, but it looks like it is in very good condition and has a good assortment of pictures.
