The aim of the article is to present phenomena connected with the book market in Bydgoszcz, as described in address books from the years 1855-1917. As administrative documents, address books contained accurate data relating to different aspects of social life. Registers included in them give information about citizens’ occupations, among them printers, bookbinders and booksellers; companies and their locations, for example presses, bookshops, bookbinderies, lending libraries, music reading rooms, lithography workshops, photographic studios, engravers; published press; illustrations, musicalia and the writing materials trade. Moreover, they mention libraries, associations of book lovers, and other associations with their own book collections. There were many advertisements of libraries’ offerings, press equipment, lithography workshops’ services, rules for using lending libraries, etc., which we consider a great source. In conclusion, address books, as a precious and rich source of information, should be used more often in bibliographical research.
