I divide stuff into 3 categories: trade paperbacks, comic books, and graphic novels.
Trade paperbacks are collections of already published material - no collector's value. Comics are the 30 - 40 page suckers that usually have ads and have major collector's value. Graphic Novels are comics longer than 40 pages and have just as much value as comics if the material was never initially released in comic book form.
The Man Who Laughs is available in a trade paperback with additional material, but was originally printed in graphic novel form. It's actually a little rare.
Other stuff you should pick up is the Under the Red Hood, Knightfall, Batman and Son, The Black Glove, Batman RIP, the original run of Batman Inc plus the Leviathan Strikes graphic novel
