  Since both of the second pair of titles are freely available on the 
Web, I suspect it would be worthwhile to obtain them. :-)
 
There aren't many XSL-FO texts out there, and Pawson's is as good as you 
will find (I would mention Ken Holman's materials as well).  The vendors 
(RenderX and Antenna House) also have some good educational materials 
and examples.
 
For XSLT, I recall that Tidewell's book was a good primer, but other 
authors (Kay, Tennyson) provide much more depth and breadth with a wider 
variety of examples. The XSLT and XPath Recommendations are also good 
source material -- they can be read and understood by mortals (unlike 
the XSL-FO Recommendation).
 
Nothing can come close to a real-world project as a motivator for 
understanding these technologies and exposing your knowledge gaps.
 
Good luck!
 
-Alan
