As mentioned in the title... do you guys think original guitar tab books worth the expensive prices?
Are the tabs in those books definitely 100% correct?

Those are tab by session musicians also, so not 100% correct. Most of them got pretty close though. However, with free tabs all over the net, tab books are obselete.

Original guitar tab?
U mean the song singer/composer wrote one?
Might be worth something especially if the writter is famous and R.I.P

If normal books i dont think so....

Some books do come with a CD containing some tracks for you to play along (minus the lead/rytham guitar).

100% correct ? I got some tab books from various bands, one of them is Oasis. On the cover, it says "100% complete tabs" but I think there are like 85% correct. They use some kind of wierd chords for Wonderwall which you can get better and more easier chords from mxtabs or etc.

EDIT:

And there are going to be expensive coz they are imported stuff and its going to be hard to find in local book shops coz not many ppl buy these kinda books, so they don't bring in that many book from various bands/singers (which you can order online, but plus shipping cost and stuff, adds up to amount the same).
