 * Weak Keep - Is referenced about 40 times in Gbooks. As the subject is rather obscure and esoteric, and this one seems to be one of the most cited reference books in its area, i recommend a weak keep--Sodabottle (talk) 19:01, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep major trade publisher, good recommendation from library journal, one of 2 books in a probably significant series, author is a scholar of these subjects. this is not a piecemeal coffeetable book designed exclusively for quick sales, and consisting mostly of pretty copyright free illos. I say its potentially referenceable and (heres my bias) one of the many books that deserve articles on WP simply because they are good sources for references in other articles. why does every single album seem to have an article, but maybe only 10% of books get them?Mercurywoodrose (talk) 02:47, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep I have to concur with Mercurywoodrose, furthermore if we work together the community we can certainly get this book unorphened and even get it referenced in articles about Giants, monsters and Dragons! Keep this book. (Cheers! Want Anything? Chatty?)babylarm 21:41, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
