I was able to find College Geometry by Nathan by chance, while I was browsing thru stacks of old neglected books in a used book store close to my home and I got it for just about 10 dollars (hard cover edition from 1925) in very good condition!

As for the second book I place a search want at a used books internet seller and was able to get it after some years from some book seller in California for about 6 dollars. Never mind that I have seen people asking more than ten times that value somewhere in the internet.
But wait no more. Dover books has published both books again. In paper back at a very reasonable price! each about 16 dollars but amazon will sell them both for about 28 dollars.
If you do like theorems like the nine point circle, Ptolemy’s theorem, Simson line, Menelaus Theorem, Ceva’s theorem then these are the books to get.
