Re: Best source for the material
You're most welcome.
IIRC they were originally intended to be pamphlets with a specific author assigned to each topic, to be published as funds became available. But then they ran into a Sugar Daddy that agreed to print them as a series of books.
The Fundamentals really are Must Read sources IMHO. Whether you agree with their premise or not, they give a remarkable insight into the viewpoint of those who championed the position and a check on the Fundamentalist movement as it exists today.

They were even out of print for many years.
What I found striking (besides some of the contents) was that no one had checked them out since the 30s, if I remember correctly. (Possibly the 50s -- several decades, at least.) That such essential documents about a major movement in recent American history were untouched suggested a serious deficiency in academic fashion about what is worth studying.
Considering the number of people that would identify themselves as Fundamentalists I find it's amazing how few have read the seminal works on fundamentalism. We had to read them as part of Sacred Studies back when I was in High School.
