On amazon.com & thethingsiwant.com, yes. But, of course, I bought the
book from a local bookstore rather than amazon.com, so it wouldn't show
up as purchased...

I suggested to Flora that maybe we have a one-way Secret Santa (maybe we
could call that Secret Satan) where "gift receivers" are randomly assigned
to "gift buyers". A given person could be both a "potential gift
receiver" and a "gift buyer", or just a "potential gift receiver".
But, then again, maybe it's OK to have redundant books.

If he bought it directly from Amazon, yes.
