Interviews with author, book notability

edit

in which the book is mentioned, but is not significantly covered or reviewed, do not meet the criteria. Especially if the book is only mentioned in a promotional footnote. Verbal chat 08:04, 18 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

There are no "promotional footnotes" that I am aware of, and there is much "significant coverage". This is The Economist book review where I first learnt about "In Mortal Hands": [1]. Another review, not yet cited, is here: [2]. In terms of the two media interviews which are now cited, book details are given at the start of both interviews, and each interview is about material covered in the book. There are also other relevant sources which are not cited at this stage, such as this one in the Books section of The Boston Globe: [3]. So there is plenty of published material to support notability, per the Wikipedia:Notability (books) criterion which says:
The book has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial published works whose sources are independent of the book itself, with at least some of these works serving a general audience. This includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, other books, television documentaries and reviews.
