Comment: I'm finding some evidence to show that this book, especially the expanded version, was considered to be pretty landmark. I'll add what I can, but this needs someone more familiar with the work to flesh it out properly. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 04:45, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to ask Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine to help out with this. The author's page is pretty lean as well and while this could probably be merged, I'd like to ensure that this is the best outlet, since this looks like it may be notable enough for its own article, as the author was arrested for the expanded version of the original work.

Keep and expand. Hard call as opposed to just merging into the Foote article. I'd argue that these two cites [1] [2] discuss the book itself in detail (as opposed to Foote) and meet criteria 1 of WP:BKCRIT Samir 05:09, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah... in defense of the nominator this book is a pretty difficult search. I'm having to go through long journal articles by hand to find specific mentions, whereas sometimes with particularly long journal articles I can just use a word search while in the PDF. I'm finding ways to get around that, but it's slow going. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 05:17, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
