I would agree with your assessment about Robert King Publishing. The alst I heard was that King was owned by LeDuc, a French publisher. I was shocked at the dramatic increase in prices of etude books (Blazhevich, Kopprasch, etc.), and it does seem harder to get their books, even though a major distributor is located by my office. It seems that LeDuc has taken the practice of printing only high sales volumes music, and taken the course for the quick-buck by raising prices on popular titles. King had something of a niche with the music education community, and LeDuc seems to be trying to take advantage of that, while at the same time decreasing customer service.
