Fails WP:PLOT and WP:NBOOK, couldn't find any review or other indication of notability in reliable sources Avilich (talk) 15:26, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

- Keep I've added critical reviews and sources from Booklist (where it received a starred review), Kirkus Reviews, and Publishers Weekly. This meets WP:GNG and WP:BOOKCRIT #1. DanCherek (talk) 15:46, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
- Trade publications which constantly put out short reviews indiscriminately, they do not establish notability. Avilich (talk) 17:32, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
- WP:NBOOK does not preclude trade magazines/journals so this is a non-issue, as to "short" again nbook does not preclude reviews that may be deemed "short", a subjective term i like to use the term "concise":). Coolabahapple (talk) 03:37, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
- Keep and I disagree with Avilich on the sources provided by Eastmain. The three appear to be long-running magazines, not "trade publications". NemesisAT (talk) 21:45, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
- the audience of these magazines/journals are primarily librarians, booksellers, and educators, so they can be called "trade" journals/magazines but this is not an issue as nowhere in nbooks are they precluded. Coolabahapple (talk) 03:37, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
- Keep, meet WP:NBOOK with multiple reviews, whether the journals/magazines are a trade magazine/journal (they are) is not an issue, the issue is whether they are independent of the book being reviewed, they are. Coolabahapple (talk) 03:23, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
