Delete—Not seeing any coverage for the series of the book as a whole. That's not unusual; the "For Dummies" books were a new approach in publishing and got quite a bit of coverage, but by and large reviewers review books, not the series. Unlikely that notability can be established. Lesser Cartographies (talk) 07:18, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Per nom. and above comments. --Jersey92 (talk) 00:12, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This will have to go book by book - can't establish notability for the series. ~KvnG 14:38, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
