Vandive published books in French and Latin on the topics of Jansenist theology, trade and travel.

Vandive's typographical mark, made in homage to the Dauphin, consisted of three dolphins swimming surmounted by a fleur-de-lis styled closed crown.

Coignard was the brother of Elie Jean-Baptiste Coignart (1667 – 1735) who published the first edition of Le Dictionnaire de l'Académie françoise dedié au Roy in 1694.

An example of one of the books catalogued is Jean-Pierre Camus' L'Aviosinement des protestants vers l'Eglise romaine.

Vandive also published the works of Henry de Barillon, Jean-Pierre Camus, Vincent Houdry, and Etienne Lochon.

Le Parfait Négociant by Jacques Savary was presented as a new edition, Traité des Lettres de Change.

The special books section of the Royal Library of Brussels, has preserved one of Vandive's publications, Voyage du Sieur Paul Lucas au Levant.

According to Dirk Van der Cruysse, his books, published by Vandive, are among the most coloured journals of the period.

Simart married Vandive's widow and continued the business at the same address and under the same trade mark as a "printer and ordinary bookseller of Monseigneur the Dauphin".

In 1731, Simart published a "new re-examined and corrected edition" of the Voyage du Sieur Paul Lucas au Levant.
