Sommario/riassunto

Principalement fondées sur des enquêtes de terrain, ces études examinent la situation actuelle des petits éditeurs et établissent un bilan démographique des mouvements de création et de disparition de maisons d’édition entre 1988 et 2005. Elles décrivent notamment les conditions de fonctionnement de ces maisons, la spécificité de leurs choix éditoriaux et leurs difficultés d’accès au marché, tout en replaçant dans le contexte général de la profession les perspectives et les attentes de ces petites structures éditoriales.  These studies, which are based mainly on on-the-spot surveys, examine the present situation of small publishers and provide a “demographic” record of the birth and demise of publishing houses from 1988 to 2005. The studies



describe the conditions under which these publishers operate, their individual editorial policies, their difficulties in penetrating the market, and set the prospects and hopes of these small publishing concerns within the general context of the trade.

Sommario/riassunto

"This is a space trip that no reader will want to miss."-- Playboy Years ago, the enormous, enigmatic alien spacecraft called Rama sailed through our solar system as mind-boggling proof that life existed--or had existed--elsewhere in the universe. Now, at the dawn of the twenty-third century, another ship is discovered hurtling toward us. A crew of Earth's best and brightest minds is assembled to rendezvous with the massive vessel. They are armed with everything we know about Raman technology and culture. But nothing can prepare them for what they are about to encounter on board Rama II cosmic secrets that are startling, sensational--and perhaps even deadly. "Offers one surprise after another."-- The New York Times "A masterpiece . . . one of the year's best hard SF epics."-- The Houston Post
