McSweeney's Books

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This article is primarily an inventory report that details the publishers out of print, out of stock, or presumably in stock status for all titles that it has published. There is no information or description about any of these titles and there is no source except Baker & Taylor's TitleSource 3, which changes hourly. The inventory status for these titles is not a static fact and all of this information can be changed whenever the publisher decides to reprint. This article also formats titles and ISBNs in a manner that is different than how most articles treat this information. Further, this article seems to be a content fork because the historical and background information is available in McSweeneys. There has been a request to merge this article with McSweeneys but I do not see any content of value here to move into the other article. I make the recommendation that this article be deleted.
