Not sure this passes Notability (books). Article was created by the book's author. Rd232 talk 22:22, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Sounds interesting. Falls short on the notability issue, but still sounds interesting.  Delete would seem to be in order.  Dennis Brown (talk) 22:27, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete - no inherent notability in the subject is conferred on the book; as above, it does sound interesting. Book is self published; insufficient references to establish notability. WP:NBOOK Criteria#1 is not fulfilled. --Whiteguru (talk) 12:24, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. -- Joaquin008  ( talk ) 10:10, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
