I am guilty of this. I have picked up multiple books for 5e for a single part and feature of them.
For example, I bought Theros for the Chimera rules. I bought Saltmarsh for the boat rules. I bought the ... essentials adventures (?) for the sidekick rules. I bought Wildemount for the Dunamancy rules. I almost bought the Eberron book for the patron section.
What books did you buy for one specific reason? Were there any books that you bought for one reason and then discovered you liked the rest of the book? Any books you bought and then felt immediate regret?
I bought Mythic Odyssey of Theros for the Mythic rules, Xanathar's for the additional rules tables, and Mordenkainen's for the lore dumps contained inside. Never regretted any my purchases.

All of it because I'm a goblin... and to look for player options. And y'know what? Tomb of Annihilation was worth it!
