I went to Foyles in early February and was quite disappointed. To be fair, I'm not quite sure what I expected (and I tend to buy electronic versions of books and research them to death beforehand), but I didn't see anything interesting, i.e. nothing that made me think that it was an out-of-the-norm stock choice.
I got Muttertag, so not the most recent one, but it was next on the list of ones I haven't got yet. Interestingly it was the only one from the series that they had, but that worked out well for me anyway!
They seemed to have less stock than I remember. It was always better for coursebooks and learning materials than general reading material anyway. But they seemed to be missing some textbooks I would have expected them to carry. That being said, I was able to pick up some supplementary learning materials for Spanish that seem hard to get hold of online at the moment, so you win some you lose some I guess.
But yes, for German reading material it's nothing like going to Mayersche in Köln or Dussman in Berlin.
