The "you and I" in the above sentence is not the object of 'let,' otherwise it should be "let you and let me" and thus "let you and me." But the "you and I" above is vocative. The person is calling/addressing 'you' and himself/herself. But Judy, don't send me the gift (that is, assuming I am right). I have planned to buy it. I am just replying for some fun in grammar. So let I buy the book. ;-) David
