Non-notable textbook. Somewhat promotional tone, no independent references provided. -- Finngall  talk  21:31, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Question Cited by 35 according to Google Scholar. How does that measure up with respect to WP:TEXTBOOKS? —Largo Plazo (talk) 03:12, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
 * I also found a review. If the citations are like this one, which specifically highlights the book, then that could probably be argued as a sign of notability. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  09:56, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Tokyogirl79 I looked at that link. It's to an essay in the book that is co-authored by one of the editors of the book. That's not insignificant, but it's also not the book itself. And personally I don't find 35 cites a large number -- at least, not large enough for this book to rise to WP status. There are undoubtedly hundreds if not thousands of textbooks or books of academic essays with that many cites. I'm not getting notability vibes off of this one.
