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 other Latin languages, and a room full of vintage items. \\\\ The shop is open from Wed. to Sat. btw. 11:00-18:00, Sun. and Mon. btw. 13:00-18:00 (19:00 DST). Tuesdays closed as we “flaneren”. Heavy rain may affect opening hours. \\\\ FREE SHIPPING in the NETHERLANDS, and further discounts at multiple buys. \\\\ Please don't forget to check your JUNK MAIL folder, I always respond in 24 hours. * Le Flaneur prefers and strives to remain as a physical establishment rather than an online seller, and its loyalty lies with frequenters, then with chance visitors. Thus, in principle, books are cheaper in the shop, and a select and increasing part of the collection is -albeit some listed online- not available for distance selling. We also encourage you to check your local booksellers before turning to internet for your needs. So that ordinary small businesses can survive and we don't need to whine about monopolies. Otherwise you know what comes next. ------------------------------------- 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, with or without appointment, but it is best to order or ask for availability before your visit. * We accept card (except for American Express) and cash payments in the shop; paypal and bank transfers for online orders. * Costs for parcels larger than the universally accepted mailbox dimensions vary and change roughly every now and then depending on the dynamics of the ever-growing logistics sector: Currently parcels up to 1 kg cost €5.00, and up to 10kg cost €6.00 for domestic shipments. We send worldwide if we really have to, but that is far too complicated even to give an indication here. * There is no clear legal global rule for returns; but as a rule of thumb we don't accept returns, as we abstain from engaging any discussion over the vague and incredibly personal concept of satisfaction, and contributing to needless entropy both in personal and universal levels. We believe in goodwill and the idea that people act reasonably. If you think what you receive fails to match its description, then you keep the book and also get your money back. * A note on description: Page numbers indicate numbered pages. Please always keep in mind the age of books when reading book conditions. Books are thoroughly checked and depicted in as much detail as possible (thus the shorter the depiction, the better the book). If there is no depiction, which is the case with some of the earliest additions, 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. Literature, history and philosophy titles in several languages are most welcome. * You may also follow us on Instagram for occasional post: https://www.instagram.com/leflaneuramsterdam/
