Saturday Times Jumbo 963 cryptic 19ac

[laptoplou]

19ac
see book containing colllection of anecdotes - the french library book is that

I assume the answer is loanable (see -lo, the french -le) but cannot understand the reference to book containing collection of anecdotes.
Thanks in advance

19a Loanable - 'ana' (collection of anecdotes) (in) 'lo' (see) + b(ook) + 'le' (Fr. "the")
