It is not advisable to give book to a person who is spiritually superior to us.
Books store knowledge. We are supposed to receive knowledge from advanced devotees. Gifting a book could be done to those who seek knowledge from us.
If you have written a book and you want to dedicate the book then it is a different scenario.
We are suppose to give service to superiors and in return they give us knowledge.
Hare Krsna
If you are sure that it will please him then it is alright
Why do you want to give your guru maharaj a Gaudiya book?
What is the purpose?
Do you know of any Gaudiya books published in Sanskrit? I think not.
all gaudiya books are originally published in sanskrit and bengally they are translated to english.
