Yes, those are good books for general knowledge, the more specialized are good to get at a later date (Gibson's Krieghoff lugers, the Simson book, Navy Lugers, the specific markings and acceptance books, etc)

You can spend a couple thousand on books; you ahve a fairly good start, although Jan's books are the best for each era.

Thanks Ed! I have just bought Jan's book on TR lugers from a member. I just bought your book as well, hopefully it will arrive soon!!!!!
I have at least 300 reference books for TR medals/badges and will follow suit with P-08's as well.
Just love reading reference books, can't believe what I've learned so far and money saved by studying
Appreciate it!
