An apparently self-published print on demand book (publisher Outskirts Press). After checks via Google, Google Scholar etc, I can find no evidence of the book being reviewed by any reliable source, let alone the sort of evidence required to meet Wikipedia:Notability (books). The single external reference [1] is as much about the author's musical career as the book, and looks questionable regarding independence, notability and journalistic standards (see 'submission guidelines': [2]). I think the case for deletion is quite clear-cut: regardless of the merits or otherwise of the book, it doesn't meet the notability requirements for an article.
