Subject: French language vendors

We have had trouble getting our orders filled for French language
materials by our
two main vendors, Aux Amateurs de Livres and Jean Touzot.  I'm wondering
if anyone
out there has had better luck with these vendors or can suggest other
vendors.  We
noticed that Harvard, Yale and NYU in particular have holdings for a lot
of the French
titles that we never got, so if anyone from those institutions has any
insight, I'd
appreciate hearing it.  Do you get a majority of your French language
titles on
approval or blanket orders? Do you order electronically?  We are
thinking that
blanket orders and electronic ordering may be the way to go.
