I know of a resource, but I cannot give you an evaluation of it, since 
our Library
purchases relatively little in the Arabic language.  This was information I
received some time back, over email, and stored in case of a need:
 
The Arabization & Software Center's commercial Arabic Library ... on the 
internet ... URL: http://www.neelwafurat.com .
 
Purports to contain more than 50,000 books, all subjects ... I have 
tested the website,
and they are still quite active, from what I can tell.  The site IS in 
Arabic, but there is a
feature on the home screen that allows you to see their "in English" 
titles also.
 
Hope this helps a little.

Our library has been using Leila Books in Cairo for approximately 3 years. 
They are easy to work with and ship quite quickly if necessary.
