I've looked around. This book has a signature in the front under Webster's photograph. Can you estimate the value?

Books are not always valuable just because they are 'old' or of a certain age.
Antique/vintage books that sell for high prices are usually bought by collectors and condition means is a big part of what they look at unless it is a really rare book and this particular book is not rare and there are many for sale in much better condition.
The 'signature' is not an autograph as it is printed in every edition.
You can find a lot of this year and other years listed for sale but an asking price is just a price the seller would like to receive for their items but only a sold item in identical condition can be considered as 'current value'.
Going by this sale at $49.99 I would say the value of your book is probably somewhere from $15 to $25 and may take months/years to sell - that is not to say that it will not sell faster as sales are not predictable.
I believe the signature is preprinted as I have seen it in other version, but you could always have an expert look at it.
This is showing the same signature in a Worthpoint ad:
I am not a fan of the site so I no longer belong. They used to offer free trials. You could do the free trial and see if this one sold for more and when and maybe confirm with them it is preprinted.
If you do the trial, be sure to cancel IMMEDIATELY or they will bill you forever.

The signature appears to be printed and not in the best condition. Typically on a regular market the value $80 to $120. The market has gone down drastically and books are not essentials in todays market , and getting a little less collectable .
