They have always had more than one book. Do you guys not know anything about Islam and the vast amount of collections available to Muslims? Have you not heard of al-Kitub al-Sittah/الكتب السته? The six almighty ahadith collection. Also You cannot forget the works of Abu Bakr Ahmad ibn Husayn al-Bayhaqi. Their a a vast amount of kutub/books in Saudi Arabiya. The issue though is that they only address Islamic issues.
I will not be happy until they have The Songs of Ilion and the works of Imru al-Qais ben-Hujr al-Kindi available for all to read an enjoy. I guess I am wishing too much though

I'm guessing I shouldn't go to Saudi Arabia to find a copy of The God Delusion then?
