I am going to look at this from a very narrow point of view, concerning , that include using historical books and considering Wikipedia:Notability (geographic features), Wikipedia:Geographic imbalance, and Wikipedia:Notability (geography), that will add to regional and state prominence, so giving notability to the author. Historical books are important to society, and we can't have a national history without the foundation of local history. 38 books, especially if not self-published, is more than trivial historical prominence, and if we don't consider this important we might as well get rid of all ocal|local places such as lighthouses or town historical interests. Because a reference is not "listed" does not mean it does not exist. Regional coverage is acceptable as notability and one https://books.google.com/books?id=7bmgCgAAQBAJ&pg=PA283&dq=Bob+and+Doris+Bowman&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwipzs71waDTAhVG6YMKHQ_nA2YQ6AEIODAF#v=onepage&q=Bob%20and%20Doris%20Bowman&f=false book on Texas Rangers would be regional as well as state significance. I have found evidence that some of the books are listed at several libraries, not just in one county, so I am inclined to lean towards regional and state notability. The author wrote ''an encyclopedia'' of history that expands coverage to more than just a single town or even county before he died. '''Note''': http://www.ktre.com/story/22843249/angelina-co-historian-and-author-dies-at-77 Angelina Co. historian and author Bob Bowman dies at 77 With such regional and state notability an author with 38 historical books would be notable for Wikipedia inclusion. I do plan to look at the article, as well as sources, for article expansion as well as linking to other relevant articles
