As a newbie who'se just been through the which-book-to-buy routine: If you don't have the Camel (and other Animals) in your library, then keep the Black Book, else toss.

It's ok as a second choice, and it's a whole lot more difficult to live with, but it's staple, and it makes sense - which is good for newbies.
Can't speak for the others, have never seen them.
