Books that you don't buy for yourself don't count, any more than upthread it was decided that gift card purchases do since it's not your money and you can use it however you like.
Consider it a fortuitous freebie and feel no guilt. You didn't buy it* and yet you will still benefit.
* This is assuming that you and your wife have worked out a "who pays for what" sort of agreement for how the actual money for the household book buys are handled. But even if the payment technically comes out of your discretionary spending funds, you still didn't push the purchase button.
