A large wizarding bookshop filled with shelves stacked to the ceiling, Flourish & Blotts is the primary - and perhaps only - supplier of textbooks for Hogwarts, though of course that's far from all they sell. The shop holds occasional book-signings and sells books via owl, in addition to books purchased in-store. They also take advance orders for books that are in high demand. In addition to the store's manager, who at times helps customers himself, the store also employs an assistant manager and an assistant.
