Is there a page or chart anywhere which lists the big six along with all their imprints? I find it extremely difficult to remember/find them all. For example, a book on my library wishlist: it says publisher Knopf Doubleday, imprint Vintage. So what publisher is that? I look on the Knopf Doubleday site, and there is a Bertelsmann logo. But "Bertelsmann" is one of the big 6. Then I see in teeny letters "Copyright 2011 Random House." So now I have found the info I wanted, but it took a lot of searching.
It would be great to have one big chart with every publisher, what they are an imprint of, whether they are part of big 6, whether they have agency pricing, whether they participate in library lending and with what restrictions.
So if a book came out that you were interested in, you could look at the publisher and know you would know (more or less) whether your library could get it, and whether you could apply a coupon to it if you buy it.
I would love to do it but... the time! the time! Does something remotely similar to this exist?
