I'm a student in Pace University's publishing program and am currently writing my master's thesis on small publishers' marketing strategies. But I desperately needed info on the "Big Six" for my intro. It's surprising that there are VERY FEW websites or articles that list who the Big Six are. Right now I'm specifically looking for info on how much market share of the book publishing industry the Big Six hold collectively. If you have any info on this, please post a comment. I'll check back later...and THANKS!!<br />-KendallKendall Sharphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16330293567916345997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-551608342749773751.post-46525429652714959902010-03-23T08:05:13.377-07:002010-03-23T08:05:13.377-07:00Thanks Lindsey!
