Are these books memes or are they actually good?

Skimmed through it, it has basic shape block-ins for each of the creatures, and progressively adds on details + whatnot. It has a couple sentences of description for each step. That's about it.

I have them, they aren't even memes.
Only really good for entertaining children by getting to recreate an image in the book.

That book? Or "how to draw (x)" books in general?
Some of the how to draw (x) books are good, but theyre better described as "how I render (x)".
The most valuable ones tell you how to generate ideas for your chosen topic or how to use a specific medium to achieve certain effects. I just got a book about how to draw ghosts and vampires and its pretty decent for what it is. Had a some trad tutorials on how to handle smoke, transparent objects and paint gore.
