The London edition is worth more than the New York edition. And it depends on the condition of the book. Even then the asking price can differ depending on the seller.
I don't know but I think whoever gave you the book would probably be disappointed to find out you traded it for some plants. Perhaps they thought your interests would go beyond just owning/growing these plants.
I could see if the Huntington Library is interested in it for their collection of rare books although I think I saw several copies of the first editions at their History of Science exhibit.
hmmm, after looking around in that website I found out that the SECOND EDITION of John Murray is going for 350$, I does not show a first edition for sale though
They have the London first edition listed starting at $1,112.07 (that includes shipping :>} ) One thing to do when using this search is to always read the whole description. If you check this book out you will find several different booksellers listing the same book (same inventory number and descriptive wording) for as much as $210.00 difference for the exact same copy of the book, that is if you go for the presentation copy at over $8000.00, usually it's only a small difference.
With bookfinder you can search by author, title, ISBN, language, condition, first edition, signed, &/or keyword. Put in your location and prices are shown including shipping. Hover the mouse pointer over the price and it breaks down into book & shipping.
