Do I have a valuable book?

I have no idea, but maybe our friend 
Sorry but that is a book club edition which later became known as BCA (BOOK CLUB ASSOCIATES) and has no IBSN or a price on it's inside cover, very unlikely to be valauble some of the book clubs books were reduced in size to the same as a paperback and called club editions.
Oh! and welcome to the forum nic652.

Hi all, thankyou for the warm welcome and the quick response to my question, to be perfectly honest I adore my books but only reason I have asked is because I am out of work and unfortunately will have to part with a few of my treasures.
Do have another out of my collection which I may have to part with, Wyrd Sisters. Info inside is as follows:
Firstpublished in great britian 1988 by Victor Gollanz Ltd, 14 Henrietta street, London WC2E 8QJ
Terry and Lyn Pratchett 1988
British library cataloguing in publication data
Pratchett,Terry 1948-
Wyrd Sisters
I.Title
823'.914[F]
ISBN 0-575-04363-6
The same friend rekons this is a first edition, once again apologies for my ignorance when it comes to book valuations but I am usually only interested in purchasing Terry Pratchett books and have never thought of selling before, but needs must as they say! Any info would be greatly appreciated. Once again thanks to all

After a hard day, I return home feeling mean and distinctly miserly. I have a question and perhaps someone can answer it?
I have two hard back copies of UA. One is signed (from Kidby Discworld Artwork, so it's pukka), the other is not signed.
The signed one does not have football cards whereas the unsigned one does.
Is one book more collectable (eventually) than the other or could I just change the dust jackets (one has the stricker saying there are footbal cards in it) and stick the playing cards into the signed one?
yes,... that's right.....

I'm only guessing here, but I would imagine that the one with the footy cards would be the most common and thus less valuable from the rarity point of view.
Alternatively, the cards are not affixed very well inside the book (mine have fallen out a couple of times despite my being careful) so I imagine that the two are likely to become separated over time, thus increasing their rarity.
This probably doesn't help but I would go for the signed copy.
