Wouldn't "You would like our books" be closer? (Or "Y'all" if we really want to go there)

I've reported it. Velitis is a subjunctive form (would like, as you correctly mentioned), while the question is asking for an indicative.

    True. Either have the Latin say "vultis" or the English say "would like".
