Italian term

Libro a scaffale

Italian to English Art/Literary Printing & Publishing
Hi,
I'm trying to find the best translation for the expression 'Libro a scaffale', meaning a book that is always available in a bookshop, vs books that need to be ordered.

Does anyone know if a specific translation exists for this term?

Thanks!
