The books are real, not just cardboard boxes for show. Moreover, they have not been "cut."
In 1920's when a book was bound the pages were still stuck together and had to be cut apart to read them, leaving jagged edges. The owl-eyed man notices that Gatsby presents the books as pretense but does not try to fool anyone that he has actually read them. He knows not to push the fakery too hard.
This is also a way Gatsby shows of his wealth, to win back Daisy.
"Absolutely real -have pages and everything......Knew when to stop too, -didn't cut the pages...."pg 51-52
The owl-eyed man finds Gatsby's library extraordinary because he notices that the books are real and not just for show, which is unusual for someone like Gatsby. This suggests that Gatsby might be more sophisticated and educated than he appears to be.
The Owl-Eyed Man is simply tickled that Gatsby's books are all REAL! He cannot believe that the books are real, with words and everything (though some of the pages have not been cut).
