Coverage expands as the alphabet advances, since each volume includes material issued up to its date of publication (e.g. vol. 1, A-Bertrand, covers 1801-1927; vol. 22, Moreau-Morgan, C. covers 1801-1975).

The entires offer year-by-year inventories of the authors' own publications, followed by chronological lists of writing about them, which are particularly useful for their references to reviews and contemporary reactions. Volume 3 covers general books and articles on French literary and cultural history; although outdated, it uncovers some welcome studies on narrow and elusive topics, (e.g. "La Littérature et le Paysan," "poésie et industrie," "roman de femme et féminisme." An explicit "table de matière" provides subject access to the bibliography.: SML Reference Z2171 D735 (LC)
