2005 Market Research on Romance Novels

Have you seen this the 2005 Market Data Research on Romance Novels? I thought it interesting.

And I especially thought page 5 very interesting. It’s a chart that lists the settings or sub-genres of romance novels that readers listed in order of “most enjoyable.”

England Based Historicals (24%)
Scottish Based Historicals (21%)

But wait… American West Based Historical (25%) and Colonial America at 27% ????? They don’t publish too many Colonial American romance novels… who took this poll???? I can’t help but wonder if these numbers are accurate.
