Sure, they are worth picking up.

A couple of other nice newer ones are:

"Complete Home Bartenders Guide" by Salvatore Calabrese

and

"The Cocktail Handbook" by Maria Constantino

Both have a lot of variety and a lot of recipes. Both cover the basics as well as some new ground, and both have decent amounts of pictures (some of Salvatores garnishes are inspiring in their simplicity), and if I recall correctly, the "Handbook" has an image for all 250 drinks.

They both have some things I disagree with too, but.. every manual does.
