Answer
Hello Linda,

Thank you again for your question.
The TNT LP is valued in the range of $20-30USD depending on the pressing (Kangaroo label is the earlier pressing, red label is a later reissue).  
The fold out Girls Got Rhythm 4 song EP would be valued at about $25. The Touch Too Much 7" about $15-20, Highway To Hell 7" $5-10 in that condition (if with picture sleeve), Sin City 7" $10, It's A Long Way HM3 7" $15-20 (if with picture sleeve), You Shook Me All Night Long 7" approximately $8-12 (if with picture sleeve, in only ok condition).
The Valentines LP from 1988 would be worth about $25-30.
The Highway To Hell tour programme would be the most collectible of the items you mentioned, valued at around $75 in good condition. The Monsters Of Rock tour book, if the authentic one from 1981 would be worth around $50-60, and the 'bootleg' version would usually fetch about $40-50 from collectors. Lastly, the Blow Up Your Video guitar book would be worth the cover price, probably around $20-25. Hope this helps.

Best Regards,

Bill
