It could be that the illustrations are by Cecil Aldin. Obviously the first edition containing the illustrations will carry the highest price, but reprints of titles by big name illustrators are also sought-after.

'Make over' is not a term usually connected to the book trade. And, for rare items, a collector would prefer the original state. Then any rebinding that is to be done will be to his/her specification. And that makes it kinda hard to put a price on it.

I'd try to identify the illustrator first of all.
