はい、奥の洋書コーナーにございます。
はい、おくの ようしょこーなーにございます。
Yes, they are in the foreign book section at the back.
Gesture & etiquette
A polite bow or slight head nod, perhaps gesturing vaguely towards the shelves.
Not all bookstores carry foreign language books. Larger chains or stores in tourist-heavy areas are more likely to. 'Yōsho kōnā' (洋書コーナー) means foreign book section.
