If you let gale read the book, then he wont part from it, however he still asks for it to consume, although you cant give it to him.
You almost have to know in advance , not to have anyone read it, or you cant give to gale to consume even though he keeps asking for it.
Very strange
you give it to him after he asks for it in the dialogues as " let him read it" instead of "consumable artifact". essentially if he had been satisfied with 2 artifacts he would still have the reaction of asking for the book.
