Sorry my reply is so late! Somehow I just noticed this message.
Book availability is pretty miserable. Our best bookstore is the Virgin Megastore (which is saying something), so bestsellers are usually available at exorbitant prices, but niche things like sci fi are hard to come by. The other bookstore option is Jarir, which is a Saudi company, so the selection is a tad more limited.
To be honest, I do most of my book shopping online through Amazon. That works for me because my employer will ship things from the US for me, but if I didn't have that I could still order from amazon.co.uk.
