Actually, I lack the History of the Lord of the Rings series contained within HoMe, as well as vol. IX. The contents just don't interest me much.

But yes, the books are definitely worth the money. The first five can be found fairly easily in a compact little paperback edition for about $6 each. The last three are only available in the U.S. in a very nice hardback edition for approximately $30 each, but you can order the paperback versions of them from stores overseas. Amazon.co.uk is where I purchased two of mine for about $18 each. I know the HoLotR subseries is available in a box-set, as well as nice individual paperbacks and hardbacks, though I can't say how they're priced.

I'm not sure if it's possible to get the entire set in a proper series of volumes. My Tolkien collection is published by about four or five different companies.
