 * Keep. There's a review of the book in 1971 in Detroit Free Press (here, behind newspapers.com paywall. I finally broke down and got an account!); another review the same year in El Paso Herald-Post (here, again behind newspapers.com paywall); another in the San Bernardino County Sun, where it's called "the first anthology of its kind" (here); The Guardian (here); the Miami Herald (here); The Baltimore Sun (here); and the Courier-Post (here). Each of the reviews listed are solely about the book and not just passing mentions or listings of book sales. I also made sure each of the reviews above were not reprints; they are all separate and I believe most all have bylines. If any editors don't have a Newspapers account and wants confirmation on the bylines for each source, let me know.


 * This book easily passes NBOOK for me. The sources in the article right now simply need to be removed and the ones actually about the book incorporated. --Kbabej (talk) 20:35, 2 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Keep per reviews identified by Kbabej. pburka (talk) 23:23, 2 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep as an NBOOK pass per Kbabej's sources. As an aside,, welcome to the Newspapers.com crew! It helps if you clip the article, mark them as public, and then link the clipping so editors without site accounts can see at least a low-quality version. Here are the clips: Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 17:20, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
 * That’s great to know! Thank you, I’ll do that going forward! —Kbabej (talk) 17:59, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
