I have a War and Peace book that was copyright in 1942 by Simon and Schuster, Inc. Rockefeler Center, New York. The book looks in very good condition, the jacket is rough but the book itself has been protected.
It also contained a 6 page Reader's Guide & Bookmark. What would the approximate value be?

War and peace is a very big book, with many characters, so it is very hard to pinpoint one location in the book where it all happens. It starts in St. Petersburg in 1805, then follows the characters all throughout Russia and Europe, in places like Moscow and Austria.
They are at peace.
