Without knowing which books they are it is hard to say if they'll be 
useful.  The "best" beginner's level book on Python that I have used is 
"Teach Yourself Python in 24 Hours."  Most of the titles in this series 
are horrible, but this one id very good - well organized and an easy 
read.  It is also several years old, but it is a great intro.
