BOOK NOTES by MICHAEL ROSSER © 2008
Here is a French Bulldog Bibliography - a 2008 chronological list of books and other publications. It’s a check-list which should help you to spot material of frenchie interest or perhaps just to know that a particular book* or magazine exists.
For space reasons full biographical details are not included and notes or comments are few.** No doubt other writings could have been listed, but here are plenty to be going on with - good hunting and reading!
*In most cases only the first edition is listed
**See Celebrating Frenchies (ARDesign Minnesota 2003) for notes about some of the books
