I have a Webster's New Illustrated Dictionary, copyrighted in 1968 by books, inc. It is printed up side down and backwards. It is in good shape. It is a hard back book. I was wondering if it is worth anything and how much. I know it has to be a relatively rare find being a double misprint. If it is worth anything, how would i go about selling it? Thanks.

I don't believe that this would be a rare or valuable book, being just over 50 years old. The misprint would probably make it less valuable as it is an error on a mass produced print. Misprints need to have some sort of historical importance to increase the value.
From what I see online, editions of this age are selling for under $5.
I have read on other sites that a misprint may reduce the value to a degree that no one wants it.
Misprints are rarely sought after unless it is already a sought-after or valuable book/edition.
of course, this could be incorrect with your edition so you might want to list it for sale and see how it goes.
It may be more valuable than we're thinking.
According to this ThriftyFun guide, unless the original dictionary is valuable, the misprinted version would not be. www.thriftyfun.com/

You could contact this link, they collect, buy and sell books, also maybe they can appraise your book also, genuinely books like this that are under 100 years old, tend not to bring in much.www.biblio.com/
