What is my book worth?
Difficult to answer. More than likely, it's worth very little due to the fact that The Bobbsey Twins are not a very collectable series. There are some exceptions--printings or editions which still bring a decent amount of money, but even those values have significantly decreased over the past 10 years, due to markets falling, as well as the generations that most collected these books retiring and/or going on fixed incomes.
To get the best idea of value, search *sold* ended auctions on eBay (not just ended auctions which ended with no bids). Unless what you have is a scarce or rare printing, there will probably be examples of real current value, represented in eBay's ended auctions. Keep in mind that anyone can place any price on an item on eBay--that doesn't have anything to do with it's actual value if it doesn't sell. I can list a book at $100, but it may only be worth 50 cents. So only base your evaluation of value on ended auctions that actually SOLD (on eBay, these are shown in green) See below for a real example:
