Si un blogueur en France informe sur les droits d'auteur et avances des éditeurs français, je serais heureux de reproduire ici son billet, avec un lien vers son blog. Voici en tout cas les droits d'auteur et avances aux Etats-Unis tels qu'on peut les retrouver sur le blog de Brenda Hiatt. Et notamment ceux d'Harlequin, Hachette, Pocket... Je ne pense pas qu'une traduction soit utile, les chiffres parlant d'eux-mêmes...
Le premier chiffre en haut à droite est le nombre de titres inclus dans l'étude.
