This this book is evidently more notable than an "average cookbook or programmers manual", easly proven by this link and this link, makes the book a speedy keep by wikipedia guidlines. -- Striver 05:28, 28 June 2006 (UTC) reply
Does this book satisfy said criteria?
1st test - 'reasonably spread' - (Satisfied) Put it in Google and found over 10 pages (100+ sites mentioning it)
2nd test - 'several libraries or bookshops or no-subscription website' - (Satisfied) We already have a website (IUniverse - free previews), Google Books (free chapter previews) and Library of Congress (and more in google search).
3rd test - 'easily consult book' - (Satisfied) Again, chapter available on Iuniverse (free site), and Google Books (free site).
4th test - 'on-line reviews' - (Satisfied) as stated earlier in Svhoong and on other sites.
5th test - 'must have ISBN #' - (satisfied) No debate here.
6th test - 'availability' - See above on all sites listed.
Therefore, keep unless WP changes the guidelines. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.188.117.8 ( talk • contribs)
