germanopratins

French to English Other Poetry & Literature trend of book sales
Au total, une trentaine de nouveautés par an qui s'écoulent en moyenne à 25 000 exemplaires. Mais les maîtres du genre —Jean Anglade, Claude Michelet (Robert Laffont) ou Christian Signol (Albin Michel) — dépassent régulièrement les 50 000 ventes. De quoi rendre jaloux la plupart des écrivains germanopratins !

agree Alain Pommet : As it depends on the reader's knowledge of France, what's the betting they know more about one or the other -maybe left bank is better known?
