Many booksellers are often out of stock on popular titles or new books, they often buy in bits and drabs in order to avoid heavy inventories, or they just may be negligent in keeping up with demand and offering good customer service.
Here is a little heads-up: In the future you should check out Amazon.com for books. For instance, Raymond Arroyo's newest book on Mother Angelica sells for $11.53 at Amazon, $5.42 cheaper than the list price of $16.95 - even if you paid shipping it may be cheaper to purchase online than from a walk-in bookstore. (Also - it is in stock, you don't have to wait for the bookseller to order it in.) If you purchased both of Raymond's books on Mother, or any other book with it, when your purchase is over $25.00 you get free shipping.
This was better than my employee discount where I formerly worked - hence I often ordered from Amazon. (I have no connection with Amazon, nor do I receive any benefits from them for reporting this. I simply know how expensive books can be, as well as what the publisher's discounts happen to be and what the mark-up is in stores. I'm not aware that it affects the author's profits one bit.)
It's a good thing, as Martha would say.
