The following is just my humble opinion and all but... that's a pretty hefty asking price for a book that's 60 years outdated. Now I realize some folks collect all books in their particular field no matter their age or usefulness but if you go to

you will see that Greta Pack reprints are selling for a few dollars each although this particular one isn't listed. If there is a special reason why this book is more precious than any other (either current or old) you might want to put that in the ad as a selling point. Oh, yes, and you spelled enameling wrong in your title. That screws up people who might search on that word.

In my English dictionary we do spell enamelling with double l here in UK Like we spell jewellery with a double l The seller probably spelled it how she thought it should be. From looking at the cover it probably is an American book. Shirley

Whatever the spelling may be in various countries, if you don't spell the title of the book the same way it is spelled on the book, then people searching for that title won't find it and it won't show up in book-listing search engines either. I was speaking purely as a book seller/buyer, not as a spelling teacher.
