Henry Kingsbury of Ipswich Genealogy Book

Hello.

I recently picked up a copy of The Genealogy of the Descendants of Henry
Kingsbury of Ipswich and Haverhill, Mass. first edition book. It is
numbered #17 out of a 300 limited pressing. It was published in 1905 by the
Hartford Press. I'm having great difficulty in getting more information
about this impressive book. The only info I could get on a book website was
ABE and it was for fascimiles of it. Is anyone familiar with this book?
How does one value a genealogical book? This one is particularly impressive
as it is very thick, has many plates of many of the ancestors and fold out
maps. The condition is very good condition as well. Any help or guidance
would be greatly appreciated.

I suppose if one were a descendant of Henry Kingsbury of Ipswich and
Haverhill, Mass, the book would be of tremendous interest.
I never heard of Mr. Kingsbury. Is he famous for anything?
