hachette and mcmillan and simon & schuster all pretty close to the same size can within $100 million of revenue of each other. arbor college is right three times as big as hachette, and penguin random house five to six times as big as we are. one gigantic, two really big companies and then three that are about the same size. a unique feature of hachette is that among the big five can we are by far the smallest title count, but olympic even after quare perseus, we are still smallest by a substantial number the next biggest to the very big is our mcmillan and fleetwood ran. the reason i like it is i think it seeks attention to the writer. we are being selected and making sure we have time to partner with the writer, editing on the marketing come on communicating, the whole experience of the partnership. we think that is something that is unique strength of ours that we want to keep it that way. >> as a publicly traded company what are your revenues? >> our revenues were $600 billion in 2015. we just acquired perseus, which is a 50% increase the revenues. ..
