Non notable book per WP:NB. Only source given so far is the publisher's press release. Article creator declined the prod.-- Syrthiss (talk) 18:24, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Notable book published by a major publisher. "The Crimes of Josef Fritzl" returns thousands of Google hits. Bob Cooper III (talk) 18:32, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Some independent coverage/citations of the book: The Daily Telegraph, The Daily Telegraph, The Independent, The Daily Mail. I also found coverage in Spanish, Polish, Swedish, Dutch, German, Portuguese and other languages.
- Also see this article in The Times by one of the authors[1]. BBC
- In short: This is a well known book, written by well-known journalists, that has received significant coverage in other media. Bob Cooper III (talk) 19:37, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to Fritzl case. The book can perhaps serve as a source for that article, but I don't see the use of a separate article. --Crusio (talk) 23:27, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep and expand. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 06:13, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Would you care to give a rationale for this vote? Thanks! --Crusio (talk) 14:31, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to Fritzl case and mention it there. Does not merit its own article. As it stands, this is just a publisher's puff piece. Harry the Dog WOOF 14:20, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

- Redirect per HtDD. Weak-at-best evidence of notability of the book. Book can't ride the coat-tails of notability of its subject. However, as an apparently scholarly work about the case, it makes a viable reference to list in that article. Appears to be cited by others (per above linked articles) but citation-counting by us (especially among news stories, which tend to be a bit incestuous or at least often substantially pulling from newswires and other shared backing sources) doesn't prove notability.
