OK sorry - it was not intended to be a spam. The series is a collection of other peoples published work on the History of the book edited by different editors - so, I thought, a useful a reference source for researchers. Not my views or soap box


 * Because you were involved in the book's creation, and because you only presented the book as a potential reference without actually contributing any new or useful information to the article, it came across as bookspam. Citing sources you wrote is acceptable only as long as the work meets WP:RS, is not given undue weight, and is used to expand the article.  Ian.thomson (talk) 17:39, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
