Well, sometimes you'll find a newer book at Carrefour. However, their prices are purchase-prohibitive. They had that Bernard Lewis book "The Middle East", which I wanted to read. I picked it up to learn that their price tag said 140 riyal, or something. You could order from the States via Amazon, pay the shipping, and still have dinner money left. So, unfortunately, they're a little proud of their stock IMHO. You just have to watch prices here, otherwise you can really get quite a few items. Otherwise there's always amazon.com, or amazon.co.uk.
