Dictionnaire Bibliographique, Historique et Critique des Livres Rares, Précieux, Singuliers, Curieux, Estimés et Recherchés qui n'ont Aucun Prix Fixe tant des Auteurs Connus que de ceux qui ne le sont pas.. by [DUCLOS (R.) & CAILLEAU (André Charles)]

Cailleau et Fils, Paris. 1791. Second Edition, 3 vols., xxiv, 550, [1]; [iv], 556; [iv], 524pp., quarter calf, rubbed. This work was the leading rare book bibliography between De Bure and Brunet. "The foundation on which Jacques-Charles Brunet built the 'Manual du Libraire' and thus to modern bibliography... Cailleau's 'Dictionnaire' continues the bibliographical traditions established by Osmont. He offers a judicious selection of both good and rare books with their prices and some supplementary information... as he says, he has based the 'Dictionnaire' on nearly the hundred priced sale catalogues" — Taylor, Catalogues of Rare Book, pp. 32-33. These sale catalogues are a particularly important feature of the work, and are listed at the beginning of the first volume. Peignot, p.396; Petzholdt 84.
