 * 2. Respect for commercial opportunities. satisfied (May actually assist)
 * 4. Previous publication. Non-free content must have been published outside Wikipedia. Yes, numerous book retailers on line and the publishers website
 * 5. Content. Non-free content meets general Wikipedia content requirements and is encyclopedic. On point for the article is to discuss the book
 * 7. One-article minimum. Non-free content is used in at least one article. Satisfied (So kill the damn BOT for the first line above says all this)
 * 8. Significance. Non-free content is used only if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding.
