Neil,

Besides Text Book Centre, also with another branch in Kijabe St.,
check also at Book Point which is in Moi Ave. opposite Ibrahims &
almost at the junction with Kenyatta Ave. A bookshop housed in bldg
where New Stanley Hotel is (along Kenyatta Ave. side) might be worth
checking.

Good luck.

Wamiti.
