The latest releases in the wizarding world are on display in the front window of Flourish and Blotts. There is also a medium sized note taped to the door that says Flourish and Blotts carries all the books required for Hogwarts Students. Inside Flourish and Blotts, walking space is limited. Shelf after shelf are crammed full of books of all titles and subjects. What doesn't fit on the shelves is piled precariously high in stacks that go from floor to ceiling or on tables in multiple piles. If you give the clerk your school list he will pick out your books for you and ring them up back at the counter in the very back of the store. There is also a narrow staircase that leads to a second level that is half the size of the first level. The darker and more advanced spell books, not to mention some of the more obscure spell books can be found up here.
