Dear Mr. Myers:

We have reviewed your filing and have the following comments.

1. In light of your significant leverage, we suggest that you expand your disclosure with respect to the financial ratios that you are required to maintain under the terms of your senior credit facility. We note these ratios were modified in connection with the issuance of the senior notes by CBD Media Holdings, and that such ratios were set forth on page 81 of the Form S-4 registration statement relating to the senior notes. Specifically, we suggest you add a table to MD&A in order to present the required ratios along with your actual ratios for at least the most recent period presented. Any trends or uncertainties that may affect your ability to maintain compliance with the required ratios, such as the scheduled decreases in the required leverage ratios, should also be discussed.

Contractual Obligations - page 23

2. Please revise the table of contractual obligations to present interest amounts, which may be estimated (with appropriate disclosure of your assumptions), relating to your senior credit facility. Also, we suggest you show the principal and interest amounts related to your senior subordinated notes and senior credit facility separately (in the same manner that you show each of your purchase obligations separately).

3. Assuming you intend to make distributions to CBD Media Holdings in order to provide the funds necessary to make scheduled payments of interest in respect of the senior notes, please add a footnote to the table of contractual obligations setting forth the expected payments.

4. The description of your "other" restrictive covenants includes a reference to fixed charge coverage. However, in your description of the 2004 recapitalization on pages 21-22, you state that your senior credit facility has been amended to delete the requirement that you maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio. Please revise, as appropriate.

5. You state that, at December 31, 2004 and 2003, you were in compliance with all restrictive covenants or you received waivers for events of non-compliance. Please clarify whether your needed any waivers and, if so, describe the nature of the non-compliance and how you expect to achieve compliance in the future.

As appropriate, please amend your filing and respond to these comments within 10 business days or tell us when you will provide us with a response. You may wish to provide us with marked copies of the amendment to expedite our review. Please furnish a cover letter with your amendment that keys your responses to our comments and provides any requested supplemental information. Detailed cover letters greatly facilitate our review. Please understand that we may have additional comments after reviewing your amendment and responses to our comments.

We urge all persons who are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of the disclosure in the filing reviewed by the staff to be certain that they have provided all information investors require for an informed decision. Since the company and its management are in possession of all facts relating to a company`s disclosure, they are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of the disclosures they have made.

In connection with responding to our comments, please provide, in writing, a statement from the company acknowledging that:

* the company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing;

* staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; and

* the company may not assert staff comments as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.

In addition, please be advised that the Division of Enforcement has access to all information you provide to the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance in our review of your filing or in response to our comments on your filing.
