[edit] Cabot books
No notability, no verification. All I can get from this is that there is a publishing company out there devoted to making music theory books. Diez2 16:04, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. Publishers are usually notable. --- RockMFR 03:20, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. Some are, but not all of them. This one appears so small that the first few relevant hits are only eBay hits[1]. I've yet to find reliable sources to back up the article. Searches on Bookfinder4u.com only turn up the one book I found on Amazon and a lot of Meg Cabot. I suspect advertising from a VERY small press. They appear to sell only on eBay and badmouthing big publishers for not publishing their books with comments like: "Cabot Books being a specialist publisher, concentrates on a specific niche in the market, whereas huge outfits like Hal Leonard, Mel Bay or Music Sales Ltd like to concentrate on titles that will sell in multiples of 10,000+." (as seen in the above eBay link) is commonly a sign of a grudge of a small press. - Mgm|(talk) 12:22, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

- I retract the bit about selling only on eBay, but the stores mentioned here indicate a predominantly internet marketing. Thebookplace.com indicates they don't have their books in stock and that ordering would take 1-3 weeks. This points to the place being a self-publishers. - Mgm|(talk) 12:26, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
