I have been a bookseller since 1988 and I mostly go for the ones I have never seen. Fortunately, each year brings its fair share of discoveries and that is the beauty of my job. I leave near Toulouse but I will be happy to meet you on appointement in Paris to show you a specific book. One or two printed catalogue a year. Books are guaranteed to be complete and in good condition unless otherwise stated.
