Hm on Franco's link, France is number 11, with one third of the books published compaired to Spain. France even fell behind Iran. How fail is that?

Well, I would not count Muslim countries because they are dictatorships and it is compulsory to buy many qur'an books to stimulate both faith and publishing industry.

French is the poor man's 'fake international language', it's only officially a working language in the EU as a remnant of the past. A past, Francophones desperately cling on. If Dutch-speaking had the same mentality, we would cling on to that one and single moment in history, in which Dutch could become a world language in the 17th century.

French is the language of the past.
the new lengua franca is Spanish.
