I have a book titled: Jesse James My Father written by Jesse James Jr.
It was printed in1933 and published by the Economy Book League of
Cleveland.
What is the best way to determine it's worth. I checked Ebay and did a
net search but so far can find almost nothing about this book.
Thanks for any help.

No appraisals here, just help.
http://www.addall.com/used/ is very helpful in these cases.
The book was originally published by James in 1899, and it's
a very rare and valuable book. The "facsimile edition" of 1957
is the most highly-valued edition of this book, since it's identical
to the original.
What you have (apparent from the publisher's title) is a reprint
(possibly book club) copy. I see on addall.com that one seller
has a copy like yours, priced at almost as much as a copy of
the 1906 edition. He hasn't sold his...and probably won't
at that price point.
You didn't mention the condition of your book, or whether it
has a dust jacket. Those are the important factors to
worth (a DJ carries about 80% of a book's value, when
identical copies with/without jackets are compared).
