Subject: Is there anything comparable to the BBTI for the Paris book trade?
The British Book Trade Index is a wonderful resource. Is there anything at
all comparable, either on-line or printed, for the Paris book trade,
particularly the 17th and 18th centuries?
I am currently cataloging a private library in Brittany and would like to
learn more about Parisian printers and book sellers.
Thanks,
