Suffice to say that, if accurate, I don't see Hachette's reported numbers as being indicative of trends in tradpub as a whole. If things are "fine and dandy," why the mergers, the downsizing, the outsourcing of editing, the quicker axing of bubble midlisters? That's a changing industry. Yet they still insist on placing the vast majority of their money-making eggs in yesteryear's business-model basket. I don't see it lasting. *shrug*
