I've inherited quite a few unfinished stamp book albums like this one in my grandparents collection. I believe I have most or all of the stamps needed to finish a few of them off. Should I, or is it better to leave them in wax paper or bags?

It depends on what you want to do with the stamps and albums, and how much time and interest you have. If you're keeping them, stamps in albums are much more interesting to look at than stamps loose in envelopes. If you're selling on ebay, albums with stamps will tend to go much better. Challenging to fill the first two spots on that US page, by the way!
