I don't think that this book is notable, because I cannot find "multiple, non-trivial published works whose sources are independent" per Wikipedia:Notability_(books). Please notice, this is an ebook and not printed (AFAI can tell). Hence there is no ISBN, which is a threshold requirement of the notability guideline. 龗 (talk) 12:23, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - It was published again in 1995 and has 2 ISBN numbers: ISBN-10: 1419108247 ISBN-13: 978-1419108242. Seems to be the subject of a lot of literary commentary. Panyd^{The muffin is not subtle} 16:23, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep — L. Frank Baum's works are currently undergoing a resurgence of republication and critical re-examination. Even works that were formerly considered secondary or obscure participate in this trend of re-evaluation. Ugajin (talk) 23:56, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. If this was published in 1910 as an e-book then it must certainly be notable, and the whole history of computing will have to be rewritten. Phil Bridger (talk) 16:52, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep — I believe that L. Frank Baum falls into the "The book's author is so historically significant that any of his or her written works may be considered notable" section of the Wikipedia:Notability (books) page. Sabiona (talk) 15:32, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
