I like to send these people books as gifts because they are relatively small and unlikely to break in shipping. Since I can't really fly out to casually inspect their bookshelves for the titles in question, there's a danger that my gifts will duplicate something they already own. If the person in question has an SO in the same household that I can ask, I'm fine. If she doesn't, I usually turn to the wishlist. And so on, you get the gist, go read the thread if you're curious for more.
Some people do disagree, of course.
