If you want to buy a book, go to a bookstore. If
you want to buy a given book, it's best to phone
the store in advance and make sure that the book
is in stock. A "given" item is a particular,
specific, predetermined one.
Often, as Joel implies, the word is unnecessary
because the particularization is understood
anyway.
