Hi, you can sign your comments automatically using four tildes ~ I think there are two issues here
 * 1) Amazon is a commercial website and is not acceptable as a reference for the book. If it is notable it will have been mentioned by independent verifiable sources, which should be used instead.
 * 2) I'm not clear how this guy meets the notability guidelines. He has written one chapter in a book that appears not to have a wikipedia article, and at least at present is not referenced to good sources (eg review in NY Times or similar major publication). The second book also lacks an authorative source, since Calcar is hardly an independent source. The fact that he exists and has part-written a couple of apparently obscure books doesn't mean he merits an encyclopaedia entry. Unless you can find good independent refs I can't see this flying.
