The manuscript titled Bibliothèque Georges Huillet, a 20th-century creation, although fitted into a pair of eighteenth-century red morocco boards with gilt decoration à la plaque. The reused antique covers were chosen to give the catalog an appealing and historically resonant exterior, but they do not indicate that Huillet himself collected bindings.
The entries inside the volume rarely mention bindings beyond simple descriptive notes, and the catalog as a whole does not present binding as a particular focus of the collection.
A stamped ex-libris inside the front cover identifies the owner as Georges Huillet of Tours, in Indre-et-Loire. The small ink stamp includes a blank space for numbering, which suggests that the manuscript formed part of a larger organizational system, even though no other volumes are currently known. The handwriting throughout is consistent with early-to-mid 20th-century penmanship, and the painted initials—decorated with gold and colored washes and accompanied by pen flourishes—align with amateur illumination practices familiar in the first decades of the century.
The catalog is arranged alphabetically by author and reflects a library with broad chronological range rather than a specialized collection. At the earlier end, Huillet records Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet’s Méditations sur l’Évangile, a first edition published in Paris by Mariette in 1730–31.
At the modern end, he includes Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s Pilote de guerre (1942), showing that the catalog was maintained or updated at least into the early 1940s.
Between these dates, the manuscript lists authors such as Alciat, Bachaumont, Balzac (J.-L. Guez de Balzac), Banville, Baudelaire, Fromentin, Flaubert, Feydeau, Zola, and others. Huillet regularly notes édition originale when relevant, occasionally records printing details, and sometimes mentions added letters or identifiable earlier owners. 
These annotations suggest familiarity with standard bibliographic practice without indicating any particular collecting specialty.
Although no external documentation concerning Georges Huillet has yet surfaced, the manuscript shows that he maintained and described a private library in Tours, organized according to his own system and preferences.The decorative initials and careful handwriting give the catalog visual appeal, but they appear to reflect personal taste rather than professional craftsmanship. The manuscript remains the primary surviving evidence of Huillet’s library and of the way he chose to record its contents.
