Max Morath's fictional treatment[edit]

I advocate for putting it back into this article on her in the further reading section. It was originally put in by the author of the book, who has a conflict of interest. Then, it was removed by an editor identified only by an IP address. University libraries hold the title and circulate it. The citation I added was formatted correctly. I will argue that other readers of Wikipedia might find it useful. TeriEmbrey (talk) 20:03, 2 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In this case, the book, published eight years ago, has managed to make it into a whopping two libraries in the United States, at least according to the public version of WorldCat. That's hardly a resounding affirmation of the quality of the material. Further, it is highly questionable whether self-published fictionalized accounts of people's lives are appropriate for suggested further reading. Much better to refer readers to quality non-fictional works. 32.218.152.59 (talk) 21:11, 2 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
