Publishers Lunch has discovered an internal investor’s brief for Legardere, Hachette’s parent company. The brief is an incomplete but an otherwise revealing look at Hachette Livre, Legardere’s publishing division, including its operations in the US, Spain, UK, France, and elsewhere.
Among other details, the brief tells us that digital made up 10% of Hachette Livre’s overall revenues in 2013, and around 30% of revenues in the US in 2013.
