Does anyone know these books, in that are they worth purchasing for the illustrations ?

I don't know either of those, but I can recommend the following volume. It was the catalogue for an important exhibition that was staged by the National Museum of Denmark in 2003.
"The Spoils of Victory - the North in the Shadow of the Roman Empire" (Nationalmuseet, 2003), Eds.: Lars Jorgensen, Birger Storgaard & Lone Gebauer. ISBN 87-7602-006-1
It is packed with high-quality photographs of bog finds from Nydam and other sites of weapons and everyday items. There are also several fascinating essays on the bog finds. It's also all in English!

Hi Conal,
I haven't looked at the two books you mention but I see that we have them in the library at work so I could scope them out for you if you'd like me to. It might take me a week or two to get to it but I'd be glad to.
I would second Mike's recommendation of the book on the Nydam finds. It's very good.

Salve,
I have already contacted the museum about this book, but have no reply. Does anyone know where I can get one? Amazon has drawn a blank.

I have the book mentioned "spoils of victory" and it has some nice pictures nut I am looking to find illustrations of additional pieces, mainly swords & sword hilts so if you are able to check them out that would be great

Yes, I got mine from Oxbow too but, after a quick search on their site, they don't seem to have it currently!

Yes, I confirm that's where I got mine as well. However, I would recommend that you get in touch with them as they might have it in stock. They can also sometimes get books through their contacts. It's worth a try, anyway.
Their phone number is : 01865-241249.

Salve,
Just a quick note, I have already said this in a new subject in 'References & Reviews', but this book is obtainable from the Danish National Museum for a bargain price. Send me a PM and I will pass on the email of the woman at the museum who can send you one.
Vale,
