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. 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)
