eBay CD-R of early movie books any good?

I just saw this on eBay. Is it worth it?

18 books EARLY MOTION PICTURE making film Kinetoscope Item number:
130164379599

Are these actual scans of the original pages or text copies?

Thanks in advance.

Darren

These are scans packaged as Acrobat files, not the
original books.

Some or all of these titles are available as free downloads
from the Internet Archive:

For example:
Screen Acting by Mae Marsh - 1921 - 115 pages
