Collectability

Just a quick question, from a long time fan  and one time member of Sproutlore. Are there any particular books, or prints of books that are more valuable (not just ££, but would be highly prized by fans) than others? Over the years, I have accumulated many books including the collection of the first three Brentford books, a few signed copies and most recently a Proof readers copy of Armageddon the Musical (1991). I realise this sounds somewhat like I'm fishing, and none of these are for sale so I won't be linking to any auctions, but I am curious...
 
Many thanks

Old editions are quite collectable, signed stuff isn't overly valuable as he's signed so much over the years, the proofs are of interest. Of the later ones he only signed 1 individual copy

Thanks for the reply. They can't have printed too many proof copies and fewer have made it into collector's hands, I guess.
When I figure out how, I might post a picture of the Armageddon proof if anyone's interested...
