Looking back to the original post, I don't think this thread has advanced us any further whatsoever. We continue to operate in an almost complete factual background. Personally, I am quite skeptical about the role of Big Publishers as Patrons of Non-Fiction. I suspect this claim might be a little like saying I support charities whilst giving $50 annually to Barnardo's. I am open to being convinced otherwise by hard facts and figures, but am not holding my breath.
