Probably best to take to your local auctioneers/valuers as the Royal Memorabilia market is bound to be strong during this year, but it could be well worth the visit.

Coronation memorabilia on eBay is listed below:

But there's nothing of your item currently listed, so no idea from me, sorry. :-(

vivandorron's link is especially interesting if you track down the left-hand edge of the page and sdelect 'completed listings', to see what has actually sold and the starting prices of things that haven't sold.

Sorry nibble. Wasn't paying attention there!

graham... Is the book one which was presented to an invited guest who attended the actual coronation service; or one of many which were printed and published as souvenir items. Such a fact could make all the difference to its actual value.
