Hi, not sure if it's appropriate to ask here... I just finished reading a book, and am editing it's Wiki article. The book is not well-known, so there's little-to-none online sources. I know the information is true because I literally have a physical copy of it, how could I source the information?? Or is "I read the book" enough?

:What is the article? And the book? No, saying you know it's true because you've read the book is not good enough. You must supply a source that should be a [[WP:RSS]]. If the source is not good enough, others might dispute it. First however is that you give more information here.
