Dealer Notes
Le Revue des Bibliophiles is announced as a monthly publication. The first issue appeared in December 1878. The last one in December 1881. It seems that this was all published. Each monthly issue consisted of a small catalogue of books available at the bookshop of J. Chollaet, augmented with a few short articles on bookish subjects. Each issue also includes a bibliography of books printed in or about the region - provinces de Guyenne et Gascogne, Angoumois, Aunis et Saintonge, Limousin, Languedoc et Béarn.
