Actually merchants began selling almanacs, pamphlets and such in the 16th century in 1559. Around this time certain regulations where establishments in how, and who could sell what and where, because of more traditional booksellers opposing them, but by 1620 there were 24 sellers on the Pont Neuf, but they were banned in 1628. Once again they were allowed on the bridge in 1640 but once more in 1649 they could no longer sell their goods. The term bouquiniste is first found in "le dictionnaire de l'Académie Française in 1789. A few years later, in 1791 a new law by the name of "la loi d'Allarde" allowed any citizen to engage in any legal profession that they deemed fit. Under Napoléon the quays were installed and the bouquinistes were found once again from the Quai Voltaire to the Pont Saint-Michel. Yet it wasn't until 1859 that the bouquinistes were given the authorization to set up individual stands, and not until 1891 that they were authorized to leave their stands in a fixed place, as we know them today. That's my understanding, but if anyone else out there knows more or if I'm wrong, please don't hesitate to enlighten us! Thanks for your input Jérôme.

I've been researching the history of retail in Paris and I found an article that says otherwise: http://www.sitebits.com/2007/paris-bouquinistes.html It kinda makes more sense since they've been regulated since the Revolution (which means the 1790's, no?) In fact, some sites (in French) say they appeared in 16th century (initially only on Ile de la Cité). Lynn,
