I couldn't find that book in my city's library online catalogue, so I recommended it to them for purchase so I could borrow it.

The first book is rubbish. Real rubbish, do NOT read it.
The second book has nothing to do with Armenia, mentions Armenians a couple of times, and is a rambling potted history of the Ottoman Empire, pleasant enough to read but not really an academic work.
I know nowt of books 3 and 4.
5 is a middling and confusing account of the early days of the NK conflict and the 1988 earthquake.
6 is, well its by Balakian so I knew what to expect, I was not that impressed by it, but it is OK as an inexpensive book that is still in print and summarises a broad range of events. It's also the only book that you have listed that is actually about the Genocide!
