This could make for an interesting side-thread, but
I wasn't asking about the publisher's reputation
with the readership, but rather how attractive the individual
publishers are from an author's point of view. Sure, there's
some overlap there (e.g., popular publishers will sell more,
increasing the royalty stream), but you can't ascertain the
work habits of the editors, or the stinginess of the contract
negotiators, etc., by talking to readers.
