I came, by chance a few years back, to a rather good enthusiasts shop in a little village close to Amsterdam Schipol Airport that seemed to have everything that an enthusiast might desire. Zurich also had one if I remember next to the viewing terraces and possibly Frankfurt the same.

That was VHF Supplies on Nobel Corner, just opposite the Master Robert Hotel on the A4. They did sell a lot of Ian Allen books, but I don't know if there was any connection. (Years before that they were located near the RWY 23 threshold on the Bath Road.)
Sorry, long since closed, but see above post for the two similar shops near the airport.
