That cover seems very easy to restore, I didn't see the condition of the spine cover, though. It seems this one could be a good candidate for a restoration. I would expect it to cost $200 to $350. If it has personal value to you, then it may be worth the bother and cost. A restoration should last for another 100 years, and then you end up with a family heirloom.
Here's a web site that has some admirable work, but I've never used them. It will give you an idea of what is repair, restore, rebind, and also of prices.

I've done some amateur repair and restoration of some thick 19th century bibles, and they are hard to do properly  because you need to make sure that are mechanically sound for use, and these thick heavy guys apply a lot of stress to the binding. But, those old leather covers really look impressive once they are done.

EDIT:

Here's their page on old bible restoration (as opposed to rebinding) --&gt; http://www.leonardsbooks.com/what-we-can-do/bible-care-pages/family-bible-restoration/
