Delete The sources here are generally less reliable than their citations promise. For example, the NYT book list of best sellers has an asterisk on this entry that means: "A dagger indicates that some retailers report receiving bulk orders." This warns that the numbers may not be honest. The USA today "review" page is 3 reviews copied from Goodreads. Three of the sources are articles written by him or his byline on publications he has written for. In searching I see a number of interviews and presentations, but these are in keeping with promoting his business. Lamona (talk) 01:52, 17 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
