Notable book. Satisfies WP:NBOOK per Criteria (1) and (5).
1. Reviews in Publishers Weekly and Kirkus Reviews.
5. Authored by President of the United States. Sagecandor (talk) 14:00, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

fwiw re: #1, those are two trade publications, often short and not nearly as discriminate as journal/magazine/newspaper reviews czar 01:52, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

Nice compilation but there is far too much quoting in this article—try paraphrasing the important aspects in your own words. Quotes should be reserved for only the technical or very specific elements that must be quoted from the source to understand it. Also Publishers Weekly and Kirkus are trade publications—they aren't indicators of notability. Where are the reviews in reliable, secondary sources?  czar 17:34, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for your helpful comments. Fixed. Amounts of quotes in article greatly reduced. Respectfully disagree as to Publishers Weekly and Kirkus Reviews. WP:NOTE doesn't say anything about "except for Publishers Weekly and Kirkus Reviews, don't use those, guys..." So yeah, that would be weird. Sagecandor (talk) 03:28, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
