But he's signed so many, that the unsigned ones are more rare and therefore must be more valuable. I have 19 signed by him that are probably virtually worthless.

I would love the chance to say something sensible to him. I've met him briefly at 19 book signings over the years and somehow never manage to feel that I have.
I felt much the same after I met Dita Von Teese at a booksigning though.

Has anyone read any Robert Rankin? I've not, but they sound worth a try.
I have read only the one (The Brentford Triangle) and have meant to read others because I did like it, they are not bad and well worth a try. Completely insane though, so be warned.
I've honestly found that once I got a handle on the universe and basic characters, I could chop and change and read whichever took my fancy.
I don't think you have to read them in a certain order.
yeah i agree. I think an early 1 maybe 2 would enhance readings of later books. Im thinking this after recently listening to postal on audio book, fairly cool story but just knowing more about the world it was set in made it better for sure, references aside.
Theres no comprehensible chronological order though (man i love spellcheck).. maybe one on par with zelda
