Greetings to all... ahalan wa sahalan liljamii3...

As Amina kindly suggested, the Jarir Bookstore in Anaheim/Garden Grove  
on
Brookhurst Street probably has the most-current selection of Arabic- 
Arabic  and
Arabic-English-Arabic dictionaries. Jarir also offers an excellent   
"to-order"
service because of its distributorship agreements with a number of   
Arabic
publishers in UK and the Middle East, i.e., the Obeikan and al-Jarir   
chains in
Saudi Arabia.

Another Arabic bookstore (right up Brookhurst a few blocks from   
Jarir) in
Anaheim, CA is Dar al-Hikmat, which also has an outlet in  Arlington,  
Virginia.
Smaller stock there than at Jarir, but a shopper can  sometimes find a  
number
of technical and specialized references which Jarir  might not carry.

Hope this helps.

Khair, in shaa' Allah.

Regards,
