Cultural Tip
In France, new books are often bought in independent "librairies" rather than big chain stores, and many readers also browse the famous "bouquinistes" along the Seine for fresh releases. When asking this question, keep the tone friendly; using "tu" signals familiarity, while "vous" would be more formal.
