The Album de la Pléiade is a book published every year in Summer by Bibliothèque de la Pléiade about one of its authors. The selection of an author generally corresponds to a major new addition to the corpus of its works in the Bibliothèque. The book is richly illustrated and focusses on iconography. An accompanying bibliographical text is prepared by a renowned specialist of the selected author.

The Album de la Pléiade share the same leather-bound format with the books of the Bibliothèque de la Plèiade, but have generally fewer pages and are printed on thicker paper to allow the inclusion of many color images.

The Albums are not for sale, they are offered by the booksellers to the customers for the purchase of three books of the collection. They tend to be distributed very quickly and become immediately collectors' items.
