The article has been written by a single-purpose account (no edits outside the article) and looks like advertisement. The author has no Wikipedia article. It is not clear from the article why the book is notable, the sources presented in the article do not qualify as reliable independent sources. Ymblanter (talk) 07:46, 21 December 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete: A WP:SPA article about a book published through the self-publishing business Lulu.com. The given references are largely routine listings for the book and presentation events by its author, along with some local media coverage, and the text is promotional "blurb" about the book combined with its author's CV. I do not see evidence to demonstrate notability by WP:NBOOK or WP:GNG. AllyD (talk) 08:21, 21 December 2018 (UTC)
 * keep the article is on a notable subject, there are various reliable sources cited in the article. The book is listed on Amazon and comes with a list of professional endorsements from prominent figures in the UK Manufacturing Sector, including the UK Head of Manufacturing for Commercial Banking at Lloyds Bank plc, who have the largest share of Manufacturing business banking customers in the UK. Stewart Towe CBE, Chairman and Managing Director of Hadley Industries plc & Chairman of the Black Country Local Enterprise Partnership. Johnathan Dudley, National Head of Manufacturing for Crowe Clark Whitehill & the Manufacturing Steering Group Member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales. These, and other, high profile testimonials can be seen at the start of the kindle book sample listed on Amazon. The author is an accredited specialist with business support organisations like the European Horizon 2020 programme, Warwickshire University Business Ready Programme, Worcestershire City Council SME high-growth programme, to name a few. The author has been in this field for nearly 20 years’ working with small to mid-size manufacturing business owners and managers. This is a unique book, as there are no other books written specifically for small to mid-size manufacturers on marketing, therefore, manufacturers can greatly benefit from this knowledge and information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.102.48.159 (talk) 17:57, 21 December 2018 (UTC)  — 2.102.48.159 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Delete, no claim to notability under WP:NBOOK. References are mostly a directory of where it is available for purchase. Ifnord (talk) 02:23, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
