WELCOME to Le Flaneur, a second-hand bookstore specializing foremost in books that "survive the test of time": Literature, humanities and sciences in several languages including English, Dutch, Turkish, German and French, along with a number of select books in Latin languages, and some afield. \\\\ In the summer shop opens at 13:00, and most days we stay open until dark. \\\\ FOR ONLINE ORDERS: Please do not forget to check your JUNK MAIL folder. I respond in 24 hours in conventional workdays. send a reminder in third or fourth day, keep the book for a week, then cancel the order.

Le Flaneur prefers and strives to remain as a physical establishment rather than an online seller, and its loyalty lies with frequenters and chance visitors. In principle, books are cheaper in the shop, and a select and increasing part of the collection is not available for distance selling. Le Flaneur also recommends buying local, physical, and loyal, since he believes every act including the act of buying (or not buying for that matter) is political which deserves utmost consideration and reflection.

------------------------------------- OTHER USEFUL INFORMATION ----------------------------------
Books you inquire and/or order are reserved up to a week and then relisted. Orders can be picked up from the shop, preferably with prior notice.
*
We accept card and cash payments in the shop; bank transfers for online orders, and paypal for international sales, but also wish to encourage you to turn back to using cash, until we find something better. You'd immediately see it's safer and emancipatory, it localizes the transaction, and irrelevant parties cannot extort -legal!- tributes. That implicates a wholly different socio-political environment.
*
We send worldwide if we really have to, but we encourage you base your decisions on total costs including "externalities", rather than jumping to the cheapest option, since it never is.
*
We believe in goodwill and presume people has the potential to act responsibly and reasonably. If you think what you received fails to match its description, you keep the book and get your money back.
*
Page numbers indicate numbered pages. Most visible flaws are mentioned, still it is best to keep in mind the age of books when checking book descriptions. Almost no wear: 10, very light wear: 9, Light wear: 7-8. Then there is mild, good enough and fair. If there is no depiction, which is the case with some of the earliest entries, please ask before ordering. Also feel free to ask for photos when in doubt.
*
We also BUY "worthy titles" for which you cannot find room at home. Sciences, humanities and philosophy titles in several languages are most welcome.
