Data on book genre and publisher names can be web scraped using Scrapy(Python)
We could classify publishers broadly into 'big 5 publishers, self publishers and others'.
List of big 5 publishers: https://www.9thstreetbooks.com/big-five-publishers-and-imprints/
List of self-publishers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_self-publishing_companies
We could extract the names and match them with the publishers in the data to classify
