Just because someone has become homeless doesn't mean they are not intelligent or that they necessarily have literacy problems.
Why do you believe that this is a bad idea?

Well, see it from the perspective of the disadvantaged. Along comes Santa Coulter with a sackful of goodies. Smiles all round. What could it be? Mars Bars? Tuck boxes? Hampers? Some clothes? Superhubs?
No - it's RB's book. Faces fall.
EVERYONE else can see that except you, apparently. Anyway, do please go to Albert Dock, pick up a lod of those books, give them out at Easter or Christmas (letting us know where that was so we can check what they thought about it) and report back.
