From the look of the covers of the book, they all appear to be the correct books you would want.

Why would you get Card Control? It's a lot of advanced stuff not really suitable for the beginner. I would switch it out for "Close-Up Card Magic" by Harry Lorayne. AMAZING book, and all of the stuff can be done with a spectators shuffled borrowed deck.

You've got a lot of material there. Have fun

PS: Little difference in the Dover "Expert Card Technique" and mine (3rd Edition) is the 3rd edition has extra chapters by Dai Vernon and Doc Daley.
