The question is, was the cost of the four less than the cost of the one? And less than the cost of the one with a 50% rebate?
Perhaps you should have just got the new release with the 50% rebate, and waited for more offers to get the remaining three books to get the free book. Then you'd have (eventually) ended up with five book you really wanted, instead of one that you really wanted, and four that were OK.
However, if the total cost was less than the new release even with 50% rebate, then it was the right thing to do.
