I remember seeing a glitzy Esperanto-language promotional DVD about Beijing that the Chinese government put out prior to the UK that was held there (of course, the Chinese government runs an Esperanto publishing house that produces stuff on Chinese culture and some amusing communist childrens' books, so perhaps this isn't the best example)

Mendacapote: Here in Caracas it’s literally impossible to find a single book in Esperanto in any bookstore.Actually other countries are not that much better. Recently in London I looked in vain for any books on E-o in the biggest bookshops. The language is very much a minority interest, so that only used book dealers and E-o societies sell books on it. I found my copy of Teach Yourself Esperanto in an Oxfam charity shop in Birmingham before discovering the EAB.

There seems to be no shortage of titles to choose from. Those in countries who are having trouble finding books about or in Esperanto might try joining an organization with a good book service such as ELNA(Esperanto-Ligo por Norda Ameriko) or the omnipresent Universala Esperanto- Asocio. Members of these organizations receive a dsiscount for their orders (my books from ELNA Book Service came with a 10% discount).
One of the books I received is particularly informative for English speakers: "Being Colloquial in Esperanto" by David K. Jordan.
I also received several others including the proverbial "Pasxoj al Plena Posedo" and still on it's way in the mail is "Nova Fundamenta Krestomatio":a modernized version of the famous book, "Lasu Min Paroli Plu":Claude Piron's companion "romaneto" to "Gerda Malaperis",& several others (I went crazy with my order).
I'll give you guys some reviews "en la estonteco".

On the other hand you can use their book services without actually joining the organizations.

Miland:Actually other countries are not that much better.It's certainly true here in the US. None of the major booksellers (with one exception) appear to carry any eo titles. At Barnes & Noble I can get plenty of books on Icelandic, Danish, and Czech, but nothing on Esperanto.
I live in the Portland, Oregon, area, and I was able to find some books at Powell's, but didn't buy any because of the absolute rip-off prices. A used paperback copy of "Teach Yourself Esperanto" for something like $80. Little tiny (and old) dictionaries for $50. Etc. Utterly ridiculous. Prior to learning about the ELNA bookstore, I managed to find my (used) copy of TYE on Amazon for $15. Now that I'm "in the know", though, the ELNA bookstore is the only place I've found worth looking at.
