THE DRAWINGS AND ENGRAVINGS OF WILLIAM BLAKE BY LAURENCE BINYON 1922, condition not great.

Have a look on www.abebooks.co.uk to get an idea of value.

Worth between 200 - 400 GBP if in fine condition, minimal foxing and complete with all the text and plates. Copies in complete, but less than fine, condition seem to go for 50 - 100 GBP.

If it's not complete, or is otherwise wrecked then it would be sold as a working or breaking copy and be obviously worth much less. Worst case it would be broken up and sold as plates - assuming the plates are usable.
