I expect he thinks that one will have the best healing spells, expediting his other healing goal. If he buys books that have spells he already knows, some of that value is wasted.
I wouldn't have particular problems with it if he at least knew what spell it is. But he doesn't. It was enough for him to know it's the most expensive one. He would now already have enough points for many tomes in the shop, I believe, but he doesn't even bother to check the selection. There could be spells that would make his life easier, such as detect life/undead, detect magic, and such. They probably wouldn't even be that expensive. There's no guarantee the most expensive one is useful for Luciel specifically. I do hope it is, though it would make a decent joke if it was useless. Maybe it's detect lie. Such a spell would be a huge deal in practice, which would explain the price. In that case, I wouldn't anymore blame him. Though that being said, he's so cowardly that he would hardly dare to react to lies, but at least he could do his best to avoid the liar in the future.
