My wife and I have done something similar.  We have a photo-inventory
in our safe deposit box.  All we put in was the negatives since why spend
money on photos if you don't ever need them.  You can always get prints.
In case of a disaster, you would probably want much larger
prints than you are getting now.  
Regarding giving a copy to your agent: what happens if your agent doesn't
have the book when you need it, or something happens to him first???
If you want something done right, DO IT YOURSELF.  Think of how careful
you would be if a business acquaintance gave you a book of pictures and
"original" receipts and said save this in case I get ripped off or have a
disaster strike.
If your agent ever gets ripped off, the burglars would know exactly
what you have and could get estimates made before they
take any risks.  Also I don't trust any insurance man that much.  Suppose
his secretary has a boy friend that knocks off houses on the side and he
asks her to let him take a look at your book, WOW!!!.
