A fairly neat presentation. I can follow you stream of thought easily. However, I do think you might want to broaden your scope to look at the publishing industry as a whole. After all, Mills and Boon is an exclusive/select category of literature. You should consider if the equivalent may be said of (1) biographies (2)classical works of Literature (3) academic studies etc
ReplyDeleteAnd you should start thinking about how the publishing industry has managed to stay afloat despite the advent and rise of cyberspace.
