I haven't checked my copies, but I seem to recall that Roberto  Bauer's 
book is devoted entirely to operatic and other classical  vocal records. Mostly 
the same for Julian Moses's, although there  might be some instrumental and 
orchestral recordings. In any case, all  classical, I believe.

If either of the last two books deal with nonoperatic classical records,I would want to buy them.

I have sold some old opera programs on eBay,from the 1950s,that I found in boxes of junk at a flea market a few years ago.Sometimes these can go for decent money.

This is a pity,obviously there are people who can use them.There are any number of private,or small press discographic books on conductors,violinists,pianists,etc,from the 70s and 80s,I would love to find.
