Wisdom has built her house,
she has hewn her seven pillars.
She has slaughtered her animals, she has mixed her wine,
she has also set her table.
She has sent out her servant-girls, she calls
from the highest places in the town,
“You that are simple, turn in here!”
To those without sense she says,
“Come, eat of my bread
and drink of the wine I have mixed.
Lay aside immaturity, and live,
and walk in the way of insight.”

Are these the most based books in the Old Testament talking about Christ?

The thing about Proverbs is the translations issue leads to a lot of "a fool does... a man of understanding does..." and it sort of becomes a Hebrewic Sam Smart Donny Dumb.

They all are, in one way or another. Considering the wisdom lit you shouldn’t forget Syrach as well.

Its good, but its also the most basic to be honest. You can find similar type of wisdom from most religious texts, like Tao Te Ching, or even poetic Edda.

Why go to something which only partially picks up on Logos when I can go directly to His revelation?

Yeah. The Old Testament contains the law and the prophecy, both are completed by Jesus Christ.
