Lewis' mention of Aristotle's works in The Great Divorce

This quote is from the very first paragraph of The Great Divorce:

"However far I went I found only dingy lodging houses, small tobacconists, hoardings from which posters hung in rags, windowless warehouses, goods stations without trains, and bookshops of the sort that sell The Works of Aristotle.

What does Lewis mean when we refers to bookstores that sell Aristotle? He's describing Hell or Purgatory. Is he not a fan of Aristotle?
