********
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. Thus, 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 to buy local, physical, and loyal, since he believes every act including the act of buying (or not buying for that matter) is political which deserves 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; paypal and bank transfers for online orders.

*
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.

*
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 from contributing to needless entropy in personal and universal levels. 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.
*
A note on description: Page numbers indicate numbered pages. Please always keep in mind the age of books when checking 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 can search our internet database by using catalogues in our antiqbook page.
*
You can also search by languages with keywords corresponding the language+0: For instance, for English: English0, for Italian, italiano0, for Dutch Nederlands0, but for Turkish, please use only the keyword: “Turkce”.
