Forum:KB:Are the original three novels canon?

Recently at Wal-Mart I saw the original three Star Wars novels combined in one volume, in the traditional size of the new canon books (A New Dawn and Tarkin). It also included the new canon timeline (I think its called "The Star Wars Story" or "The Story of Star Wars" or something like that), which featured the TV shows, films, and other novels (Dark Disciple, Lords of the Sith, Aftermath, etc.). My question was this: are these three original books (by George Lucas/Alan Dean Foster, Donald F. Glut, and James Khan) in the new canon as well? --Clonetrooperfan2207 (talk) 01:38, September 22, 2015 (UTC)
