A lot of these books are expensive. They are mainly used for academic purposes, not for use by the general public.
You won't find Sitchen or the Necronomicon here, sorry, I deal with reality as often as possible.
A few of these books are Ugaritic/Canaanite, not properly Sumerian or Babylonian; I happen to like Asherah.
