Great books have the power to transport us to different worlds, so why should their bookshelves be any different? A recent decor trend called “book nooks” is changing that. They are crafty creations that live among the novels on your shelf. Measuring roughly the height and width of one or two books, they are reminiscent of dollhouses or slender dioramas. And when sandwiched between two books, it looks as though your shelf is a passageway to places real and imagined.

 

lourish and Blotts Bookseller was a bookshop in North Side, Diagon Alley, about halfway down the street on the left hand side. Established in 1654, it was where most Hogwarts students purchase their schoolbooks. The shop was filled with shelves stacked to the ceiling.

The shop had had a few problems with certain books, such as The Invisible Book of Invisibility which cost them a great deal of money though they never found them, and The Monster Book of Monsters which tore each other up as well as biting the manager when he tried to get one out.

The shop held occasional book-signings, such as when Gilderoy Lockhart stopped by in 1992 to sign copies of his latest book Magical Me.
Flourish and Blotts also ran a service which enabled purchasers to buy books via owl delivery.
They also took advance orders for books that were in high demand, such as The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore.

Because of its importance, we have also created this Fantastic Place as a Book Nook. This is not in the classic book-nook look in a box, but rather as a stand-alone building.

There is a round recess in the base plate to hide the lighting and batteries inside.
Although it does not come in the classic Book Nook design, it is still a perfect addition to the bookshelf - especially when you have devoured the Harry Potter books.
