Notability?[edit]

I'm slightly worried about notability here. There's a handful of reviews, but it's all sort of light as far as what I can find. There's some syllabi coming up to show that this is mentioned as a reference and I can see where some books have it used as a reference or "further reading" mention in the books, but nothing so overwhelming that I'd sit back and absolutely nod "yup, it's notable". I'm finding some mention of the author, so I'm leaning towards seeing if he'd pass WP:PROFESSOR and then just redirect this to him. Anyone want to help out on finding sources for this book or for the author?Tokyogirl79 (talk) 07:58, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Personally I'm pretty skeptical about both book and author. Stuartyeates (talk) 08:31, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah... that's why I decided to ask around for advice before putting the author's page to the mainspace. I wasn't entirely sure about everything either and I didn't want to waste editor time with speedies and AfDs if it didn't.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 04:44, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
