 * Delete. This book just isn't notable. The only remotely feasible looking sources are these two and neither are usable because the author is associated with both the OU (as a former student) and the HNS (as a member). The book has a better presentation than your average self-published book, but in the end it still doesn't pass WP:NBOOK. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   16:11, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete -- I do not believe that a book is likely to be notable where it does not have a proper publisher. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:32, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Actually a book being self-published doesn't automatically mean non-notable. Amy Fisher's "If I Knew Then" got a rather substantial amount of press when she released it through iUniverse. Hugh Howey's WOOL is another good example of a notable self-published series. He did so well that he eventually got picked up by a mainstream publisher for print copies, but was known even before that point. What Color is Your Parachute? is another one that fell within those lines. I don't think that you meant for your words to come across as "self-published means non-notable", but that's sort of how it comes across. You might want to rephrase your argument.
