Dear Linda:
Assuming that you start with a reliably standard title, you could try
searching some of the web pages of online French book-vendors, many of
which have stock lists of hundreds of thousands of titles. E.g. try
Librairie On Line.Com. Also you might try the online public catalogue of
the Bibliotheque Nationale de France. Links to all of these can be found
at CUNY's 'Litterature de langue francaise en ligne' web page. The url is:
http://www.lehman.cuny.edu/depts/langlit/french/lit.html.
Also, I don't know whether your library subscribes to the Bulletin
critique du livre francais; but it gives good evaluative coverage of
current French academic publishing and has a convenient subject breakdown
of new books that it covers. It might be worth checking for your medieval
didactic work.
Cheers,
Martin Howley
