Hi Bob,
A few notes:
1. If they are hinged, the value is not $7.50 per stamp; the catalog states immediately following the heading SAVINGS STAMPS, "Catalogue values for unused stamps in this section are for Never Hinged items."
2. In my experience, savings stamps can be purchased well below catalogue value, except for the most uncommon ones; I have purchased many in the past - with and without the booklets, and in conditions ranging from MNH to used.
3. S1, S2, S3, S6 & S7 can all be purchased for around a buck or 2 each; S4 can be had for $5-6 and S5 for about 20 bucks. These are all MNH price estimates, of course.
All that being said, these are, of course, estimates. And a booklet if near mint condition certainly adds to the value somewhat.
One question;
Are the stamps an attached sheet of 40? Or are they individual stamps?

Thanks Randall!
The stamps are stuck in as a child would do, in rows of 7 stamps. Based upon everything said, it looks like we're talking about less than $20.00. Again, thank you.

Bob,
Forgot to respond to your other question;
No - these cannot be traded in for Savings Bond...that program is long defunct.
The books with stamps in them are a nice addition to someone's military/wartime history collection....ephemera, if you will.
Many collectors are happy to include them.
