At the end of the day, these booksellers and the publishers, are capitalistic enterprises, they will make available any commodity that they can sell enough of to make profit... I dont think the politics of the book really comes into it, unless it is somethig especially offensive that selling may cause negative publicity.
On the basis that many more books are published than can fit in any store, its just the way it is I guess... Im sure any of those stores would have ordered you a copy if you'd have asked... they all probably had 250+ copies of the latest Harry Potter too, the only conspiracy is that of maximising profit and turnover in place of artistic or educational merit... and its a pretty transparent one!
