This 3 volume (you have one volume - #II) set was published in 1977 as a commemorative of the original set.
These sets are not rare and having only one volume I'm not sure it would be valued at more than $20 and it may take a long time to sell.
You can read some answers on this subject from previous questions:

Here is a set that has been listed for a long time and has not sold. Asking price: $63 has useful information about the set.
This is second volume of the Encyclopedia Britannica, consisting of three volumes, Facsimile, by a Society of Gentlemen in Scotland, Edinburgh: A. Bell and C. Macfarquhar, 1771 Edition. This encyclopedia is a Dictionary of Arts and Sciences, made to look like the 1768 original - the very first Encyclopedia Britannica. It's almost indistinguishable from the 1768 original, right down to the natural age spots and watermarks on the pages.
Three volumes of this encyclopedia were sold recently for $70: picclick.com/
This appears to be a reprint of the first Britannica encyclopedia, which was published in 1771 in Edinburgh, Scotland. The following website provides more detail: www.britannica.com/
Maybe this link can help with the value, during this currant market , these books only appeal to a certain collector/buyer. Often this collection is offered at auction/bid pricing. maybe this link can help - www.antiquers.com/
