I am unable to find significant discussion of this book in multiple reliable sources per WP:NBOOK. Google search only brings up entries in book seller web sites. Proposed deletion contested. ... discospinster _talk 04:15, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I've tagged this as a speedy deletion for a copyvio because it's copied from the official bookjacket, but even without the copyvio this is still a very non-notable book series. I always feel for the indies and self-published books, but that doesn't mean that they get a free pass. This book isn't notable in the slightest.

Delete This looks like it comes from a pay-to-publish outfit. Different to lulu and AuthorHouse in that there appears to be some responsibility for the marketing, but there are charges for printing, binding, proofing and editing that a mainline publisher would deal with themselves as part of the overall deal. Sometimes stuff like this makes it to notability, but there's nothing given to indicate this. Just a set of blurbs that in the absence of notability indications are probably to be regarded as promotional. I wish the author luck, but I rather feel that he'll need it.
