it depends on the content of the .eps file (and on the .pdf version).
when you export your .pdf file you'll find a checkbox to 'embed pdf & eps files'

       
  • if you check this box, your .eps files won't be touched by scribus (and by its color management) – the embedded files could stay in a completely wrong color space
  • if it's unchecked, the placed .eps files will be treated as images (rendered and color managed). this might be a problem for .eps files with text and vector content
as long as you don't know how and where you'll print your book, i see a high probability for problems – at least for mixed content .eps files fram an unknown source (unknown color spaces...)

i converted them cmyk colours using Scribus tools and they are text and vectors. they look fine in my display and when i print.

I found using so many and so complex eps images (like 54 or even 81 for example) is way too slow for me.
