Comment. This book apparently isn't self-published. I was able to find mentions online including this item at Goodreads. No opinion about notability. • Gene93k (talk) 17:56, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks - I couldn't see the publisher's name on the Amazon page for the book. I've struck out the suggestion. AndrewWTaylor (talk) 18:07, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've found some stuff, but it's pretty slow going. I see where it won an award but I can't verify the actual award because I don't know what the initials spell out. It seems to be a long running one, in any case and recent news hits seem to suggest that it's a somewhat well thought of Spanish language book award. I am finding some sources that suggest that it is used in Spanish language classrooms. ([1]) Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 04:06, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This source seems to confirm that it's something used in classrooms, as it's a journal run through by the ministry of education for Spain. It has a very lengthy article written up on it. I'll see what else I can find. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 04:11, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
More books citing ESDC as something used in classrooms in various formats, with this one being an actual math textbook that lists it : ([2], [3], This one is another entry from the Ministry of Education of Spain, This one is a blog, but it was set up by a teacher for his secondary school students) Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 04:13, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep - This article indicates the bok is noted, but we are probably looking at coverage in Spanish source which I am not competent at researching. -- Whpq (talk) 14:48, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Keep. "CCEI" stands for "Comisión Católica Española de la Infancia"; the award can be verified on their website [4], and from a search online it appears to be a significant, long-running award [5]. I couldn't find a traditional review, but that essay about the award also seems to cover the book (see snippets [6] [7]), and there's a lot of additional evidence that the book is regularly used in education, such as [8] [9] [10] [11], but they're all probably best represented by this, a project by the IES Mar Menor that centered all their subjects (Math, Chemistry, Geography, etc.) around this book, and a similar project (the second link above by Tokyogirl79) that received an honorific mention by the Ministry of Education in the frame of their "Premios nacionales de investigación e innovación educativa" [12]. This is reinforced by the hits from GScholar, where the book is mentioned not only within the subject of teaching Math, for example [13] [14] [15], but also regarding the Medieval Ages and Arabic culture [16] [17]. — Frankie (talk) 07:55, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
