One book to decide whether to play, one book for everyone and one book for "that nerdy guy anyone will ask during game"

Good idea

You sell 3x as many books that way.

I bought two of the Fate books (first the "toolkit" book, then the "core system" book) not fully understanding the differences.

That's not really relevant to board games, though. Rules all free for essentially every board game.

The Fate books (at least several of them) are also free to download, with some Creative Commons license or similar, so you can read the rules without having to buy anything if you do not want to.

It's the only way that they'll lay flat when open
