Another non-notable book in a growing walled garden of self-promotion. Andy Dingley (talk) 22:13, 3 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep per WP:NBOOK. This book has received reviews from publications including Library Journal, Resource Magazine, Publishers Weekly, Bristol Post, and The Times (all cited in the article). This meets WP:BOOKCRIT #1. MarkZusab (talk) 22:17, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment. This article is not self-promotion, as it was not created and has not been edited by the subject of the article or anyone with a personal connection to the author of the book. This article also does not fit Wikipedia's definition of a walled garden. (See Walled garden and WP:SELFPROMOTE). MarkZusab (talk) 22:24, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep added book reviews from the Bristol Post and The Times. Passes WP:NBOOK.E.M.Gregory (talk) 22:39, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep, another waste of time for afd editors of a notable book that is neither part of a walled garden nor of self-promotion, meets WP:NBOOK with numerous reviews in reliable sources that are listed in the article, a perfunctory WP:BEFORE would have found these. Coolabahapple (talk) 23:14, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep - A review by The Times is good enough for me. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:55, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep Coolabhapple is exactly correct that this is the sort of nomination that a BEFORE should avoid. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 20:00, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep per NBOOK (The Times, among other sources) and above --DannyS712 (talk) 20:13, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. Enough said. --Doncram (talk) 17:46, 8 May 2019 (UTC)
