The aforementioned pressbooks are meant for distribution in the UK. You can also get books / brochures for the same films which are meant for distribution in the US. They normally differ quite a bit. Which means as a collector it's probably a good idea to get both versions, if possible of course.
If you're interested in purchasing / collecting any of the aforementioned books / brochures then expect (realistically), to pay anything from £25 to £?00 each for The Rebel and The Punch & Judy Man books / brochures in mint condition. You should be able to get the Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines book / brochure for slightly less. It will rather depend on who's selling them / it. These books are rare, and to find them at all, in any condition will prove to be quite difficult.

This book should be easy to find. Indeed you may trip over one. So mind your step!
This book can be found, but you may have to look harder, it won't just fall into your lap!
This book is very difficult to find. If you do find a copy relatively easily, then you were lucky!

This book is as rare as they come. Indeed, it's like gold dust. I'd almost defy you to find a copy!
