Default Ancient & Modern Scottish Songs 1776 David Herd

Anyone know what this book is worth?
I can email pictures if necessary.

This book was first published in 1769 as one volume and it was expanded to
two volumes in 1776. This is volume 2 only of the 1776 edition. The book
is 283 pages in total and measures 7¼ x 4¼ inches. It was printed in
Edinburgh by John Wortherspoon for James Dickson and Charles Elliot. The
covers are made of leather as is the spine which has raised bands. The
spine shows some signs of wear. The book itself is solidly bound. The
cover corners are rubbed. There is staining around the perimeter of the
front free endpapers and rear free endpaper. One of the free endpapers
bears the wording 'Scots Songs'. There are two title pages. There are 239
pages of poetry, songs and ballads followed by a 34 page glossary and a 10
page index. Overall the pages are very bright. There is minimal foxing to
the book. Approximately 10 pages are darkening and have staining in the
right margin which does not impact the wording. There is no evidence of
tearing.
