1. We note that your ability to make payments on the senior notes is subject to CBD Media`s continuing compliance with it senior credit facility, which requires the maintenance of certain financial ratios. Accordingly, we suggest you expand your disclosure with respect to these financial ratios since they directly impact your ability to service your indebtedness. 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 CBD Media`s 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 25 2. Please revise the table of contractual obligations to present interest amounts, which may be estimated (with appropriate disclosure of your assumptions), relating to the senior credit facility. Also, we suggest you show the principal and interest amounts related to the senior notes, senior subordinated notes and senior credit facility separately (in the same manner that you show each of your purchase obligations separately).

3. The description of your "other" restrictive covenants includes a reference to fixed charge coverage. However, at the bottom of page 22, you state that CBD Media`s senior credit facility has been amended to delete the requirement to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio. Please revise, as appropriate. 4. 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.
