Bella was expecting to be slightly late to math class. This is not math class, but it seems like the sort of thing she ought to be later to math class in order to investigate. In she stalks, ready for something to jump out at her, wondering if she ought to pull a stake out of her bag.

"Appropriately futuristic textbooks in whatever areas you please. Small useful items such as laser pointers. Drag Giles in here and get him to buy any book he wants and doesn't have."

"I suppose unless Giles does something unwise like ask where Mark has gotten to it's probably about time to summon him back, isn't it."
She goes to the door and opens it.
"Hey, Giles, did you know Bar does books?"

"She does! Do you have your wallet on you? She does charge for the books. But 'out of print' is not a thing here."

Published books. I cannot get you your neighbor's diary, or books that are from your own future as opposed to a later calendar year in someone else's world.

"I can certainly work with that."
He pulls out paper and pen and starts scribbling down a list of titles.

"If you get spare copies, you might be able to sell them to your demonologist friends for more than Bar charges you."

"I suppose that's reasonable. We might get another door again later, but can't count on it."

"So Bar, how much help can you give me on technological revolution?"
Some, but possibly not anything you're equipped to use.
"Mmm - I don't know, can I borrow a computer with copies of the 2020 Wikipedia on it?"
I'd really have to know a specific world from which to draw such a thing.
"Does Mark's work?"
In Marks's world Wikipedia ceased to exist in 2015. And I caution you that there may be slight differences in the laws of physics due to wormholes, and there is also no record of the existence of, for example, a Tony Stark, which may have actually impeded technological development on the cutting edge.
"...Damn. Uuuuum."

"Okay, different tack. Can I plagiarize shamelessly from an author who doesn't exist in my world and wrote books that sold like hotcakes and then just have a lot of money to use for generic things?"
Without directly commenting on the plagiarism aspect, I can find works of fiction like that which sold well circa your year in Mark's world and supply copies, but can of course not guarantee that you will find the publication process easy, especially for books you did not in fact write.
"...Point. Okay, that's a back-burner idea..."
