I can't really be sure, but from my experience with card magic books in regular bookstores, many of the tricks can be found in multiple books.
Generally they're not really powerful, but you CAN find some gems in these. I've picked up a few just because they're usually pretty inexpensive. I learned quite a few useful utility moves and counts from some of these kinds of books.
If nothing else - you might find ideas, moves, methods or concepts in there. I say go for it.
