James Blish did a series of adaptations of the OST episodes; what you
have is the first of the series.  They're all pretty common, and unless
the copy you have is in mint condition, is worth only a few bucks. They
were heavily collected from the beginning, and there are plenty of
reading copies to be found.

Even in straight-off-the-newstand condition, none of the Blish ST books
are worth more than $10-15; post-1965 paperbacks are far too common
anyway, and the ST books have been heavily collected from the very
beginning.  There's no shortage of copies to be had, even in good
condition.
