I worked in publishing about 15 years ago so my "feelings" about the various publishers were formed then and haven't been updated since then. At the time, FSG and Knopf were considered the most "serious" or literary publishers and I would give a book by these publishers stronger consideration than others. I still do this today, even though I don't know if those are still the "best" publishers or not. I am definitely still more biased toward the big publishers than the indies. This is not to say I won't read indies, but it would take more (good reviews, for example) to get me to read one. I just feel that the books by the big publishers have already been through a vetting process and deemed worthy of publishing. Of course that's not to say that all books by big publishers are *good* but I take it into account.
