The Cooking Book

I am now in a bookstore near the university.
Yesterday, I saw a good cooking book at Maria’s house, so I want to buy it too.
I am looking at the shelves, but it is not there.
I have a photo of that book on my smartphone.
I showed the photo to the shop staff and asked, “Do you have this book?”
The shop staff said, “Ah, that book is on the top shelf over there.”
