For a more comprehensive view of what the whole Robert Rankin thing is about check out www.sproutlore.com - his fansite. They've got reviews of all his books (although they're obviously slightly biased!) plus some autobiographies (both really stupid and merely quite silly) and a small forum for talking toot.
His paperback books are published by Corgi, but I'm not sure about the hardback. Gollancz I think, but I could be wrong. And I suggest the Armaggedon Trilogy, if you can handle books where the main characters are a talking Brussell Sprout and Elvis Presley...
