No, it's not "necessary" per se. Did I really need to read Annie Duke or Chris Moneymaker's biography, of course not. Do Gordon's and Wenzel's books cover much of the same ground and topics, sure.
Did reading any of these books hurt my game? No.* Did I learn something, or review something from/in each of them? Yes.
I guess your real question/comment is "Was it worth the investment?" ($2965 total cover prices, for those interested).
Certainly some books are more "bang for the buck": I can say that for $19.95 "Poker Tournament Tips from the Pros" by Shane Smith at 139 pages of semi-fluff is definitely not as good a buy as Arnold Snyder's "Poker Tournament Formula" at the same price.
But I guess in the end I don't regret any of the purchases*, and would have to say that the alue of books is an individual thing (I have lots, not just on poker).
*"Maximum" Dave Bradshaw's book, and others in the dogshit category excepted...
