What are book values?

The Kelley blue book value for my car is about 35k and the NADA book value is 41k.

Which one is correct and which one is the market standard? Why are they so different.

if your trading in your car expect to recieve real money from a dealer (acv - actual cash value) somewhere between fair and good condition from kbb. Dont even look at excellent regarless of what kind of condition your car is in.

Yup they both overestimate the value of our cars. KBB is more realistic but still 2~3K too much...
