You can't handwave that any scroll will be accessible, but scrolls do exist as items that can be found through random loot, or sold in magic shops (which do exist, they just don't have limitless stock and perfect variety).

Spellbooks do not exist, except as the possession of other wizards, who may or may not be friendly and accessible, and if they are, they may not have what you need.
