article was initially prodded, but as that has been contested, i have brought the article to be discussed here. i believe it fails WP:BK criteria, and as i wrote on the talk page: there are no apparent reliable or independent sources offering non-trivial review of the book. the only information i could find in the first 100 ghits or so was standard unauthored summaries plastered on retail websites(i.e. ,)- thus no independent review from anyone not actually selling the book- and the only other mention was a trivial title-mention in a Haaretz article. hence, Delete.

 * Delete per above. I agree, we don't have enough data to judge notability. ZZ 15:41, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep As CltFn pointed out, some of the writers are highly notable. -- Karl Meier 21:14, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
 * that may justify articles on the writers themselves. there is no reason to believe the book itself is notable as per WP:BK.  ITAQALLAH   21:18, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Agreed - If the individual authors are indeed notable in and of themselves, then saying so in the article (via a sourced statement) would be sufficient to assert notability. The book could be notable due to its content, but notability is not inherited from the book's author(s). Reading the article itself, I have no means to judge why this collection is notable in and of itself - it's just a table of contents. ZZ 23:19, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
