What are the most successful book publishing companies?

I'm looking for information on the following - Please list...

The company.

What genre of books they publish.

What they are well known for/general reputation.

The size of the company.

And finally, which would be best to do a co-op work term at? And why?(As of today I am unsure what kind of job I would apply for - either editing, marketing or public relations)

Thanks in advance!What are the most successful book publishing companies?
In order of size:



Random House:

Every single genre imaginable through various subsidiaries

They're well know for being huge and great

As I said: huge



Penguin House:

All genres

Well known for being second biggest

Second biggest



I feel as if I'm repeating myself. Basically, there are tons of publishing houses. If you're looking for a specific genre publisher, check through a local bookstore. Say you want to work at a Sci-fi/Fantasy publishing house, look through that section (TOR, by the way, is one of the biggest for that). As for the co-op term, I honestly have no idea. If it were me, I'd look at the main office and judge it by that.What are the most successful book publishing companies?
UHH I HAVE NO IDEA...



Scholastic? They are huge across Canada...and they let out book orders where kids can order books from them...But I'm not sure exactly what they are.
