Delete. Whether or not this is a self-published book or something run through a publisher is somewhat irrelevant, although my reason for pointing this out is because the complete and total lack of Google hits of any sort (other than links to the WP page) hints quite heavily that it's SP. Publishers typically try to have the book listed as early as possible to drum up sales, at least publishers worth their salt would. In any case, there's absolutely nothing out there to show that this book passes or will pass notability guidelines in the near future. If it ever gets enough coverage to pass GNG then it can be re-added, but the sad fact is that the vast majority of books out there DON'T pass notability guidelines and that's even if you're counting the ones that are published by the mainstream publishers.
