(A) The book you sent me yesterday isn't the one I want to read.
(B) The book you sent me yesterday isn't one I want to read.
(C) The book you sent me yesterday isn't what I want to read.
My guess is that (A) is correct, but (B) and (C) aren't.
Is this correct?
I'd appreciate your help!

(A) The book you sent me yesterday isn't the one I want to read. = There is a particular book I want to read, but the book you sent me isn't it.
(B) The book you sent me yesterday isn't one I want to read. = There are some / a lot of books I want to read, but the book you sent me isn't one of them.
(C) The book you sent me yesterday isn't what I want to read. This can have the meaning of either (A) or (B).
Hmm, that's different from what I expected.
I'm very happy to get new knowledge.
Thank you very much, you two =)
