My dear son Rudiger
In Germany’s most difficult hour I give you accompaniment on all of your travels and wish the words and acts of our Führer to give you strength and to use as an example. As the quotation: “Germany must live and when we must die, you should live your life”
Heil Hitler
Your father
The book itself is the special edition printed in celebration of Hitler's 50th b'day. 5 million copies printed.

Any found this paper inside the book , it's any special about this one ?
Seems to be for filling out to send / pay for the book (or whatever else) from that bookdealer. It's not really "special", so to speak.

Strictly a guess, but maybe $100? There's a number of "MK" threads here, if you search through those you might find a few numbers.

Very nice edition of Mein Kampf! Here's a photo I own showing the bookshop this copy was sold at. If you wish you can print off a copy of this photo and put it in your book. Might increase the value? Perhaps someone in this crowd walked into the bookshop that day and bought the copy you own. You never know!
A few copies of this edition are for sale on ABE Books. The cheapest is $118 and the most expensive is over $1000. Here's the cheapest copy but it doesn't state if it a limited edition:

In my opinion the inscription from father to son is what makes this volume special and the not the book itself as Mein Kampf still is one of the worlds best selling works in several languages.
