No indication of notability. The only source in the article, AbeBooks, is not an acceptable reliable source. A Google search found no sources. Google Books and Google Scholar dig up some results, but they are only references or short mentions. Mucube (talk • contribs) 23:59, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep. I'm seeing non-trivial coverage, including book reviews, in newspapers: Chicago Tribune, The Age, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, The Los Angeles Times. Seems like enough to pass WP:NBOOK. Sorry those links are paywalled; if you're interested, you can request access via WP:The Wikipedia Library. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 02:53, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep - a WP:BEFORE shows sources from reliable sources. Best, Reading Beans (talk) 09:50, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep based on WP:BEFORE and WP:POTENTIAL. Sources appear to exist. Archrogue (talk) 16:37, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
