[edit] The hungry man

nn. about a book which doesn't seem to have ISBN. 202.156.6.60 15:18, 30 September 2005 (UTC)


  • Hello. I just wrote this page and did not know it should include the ISBN. The Hungry Man: ISBN 9789743452116; There You Go! ISBN 9789749286302. I think both books are published in Thailand by Hungry Man Books (?) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.232.8.1 (talk • contribs) 10:23 ET, 30 September 2005
  • Keep The book is self published, but it seems that the author is known in the international aid community, aand so is the book to soem extent. I ahve added proper links to two online reveiws, and the ISBN to the article. DES (talk) 16:30, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and Move to The Hungry Man for proper capitalization, I think. >: Roby Wayne Talk • Hist 00:12, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. A Google search for '"The Hungry Man" "Oren Ginzburg"' comes up with four hits for this self-published book. Not even sold at amazon, which generally sells self-published books. User:Zoe|(talk) 07:26, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete I take a very inclusive line on books so long as they are not self-published. In part, this is because I have "psychic" relatives who regularly self-publish absurd predictions, so I am familiar with the range of kooks who will pay for the "honor" of disseminating ideas this way. Basically, if you self-publish (at least after 1950), I assume that your ideas were denied a label for a reason. The four google hits, in this instance, support my assumption.
