It is most likely Eileen was at school 50 years ago, and
Snape most likely got his mother's book as a hand-me-down. 
If the greying underpants and his ghetto home at Spinner's 
End indicates, Snape grew up dirt poor. Have you notice 
there're many aspects of Snape's life mirror Tom Riddle's life? 
Maybe Tobias Snape was a poor, low class man if Snape's 
house was at muggle ghetto/industrial area. And Eileen 
lost her magic just like Tom's mother due to some distress, 
the glimpse into their family life isn't pretty (Snape's
dad yelling at a cowering Eileen and crying Severus).

So Snape had no money for new schoolbook but using
Eileen's old school stuffs.
