I don't know about the others but the books of Enoch are available and very
interesting reading.  It seems that the people Jesus spoke to were quite
familiar with it.  It also philosophically lays much of the groundwork for
the NT's (and evidently Jesus's) own view of 'Evil', the phrase 'son of man',
future judgement, the resurrection and the Messianic Kingdom.  It is must
reading (in my opinion) for anyone interested in the study of Christian
origins.  I ordered my copy from Dover publications, printed by
Hollen Street Press Ltd. at Slough (London?)   It is an old translation (1917)
but has an interesting forward by some scholars as well.
