Don't see any independent notability, only notable authors. TheLongTone (talk) 08:36, 21 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, as a book ~~hoarder~~ erm, collector, this looks very interesting, not relevent for notability, but how does this company compare to the Folio Society, another publisher of limited edition collectable books? Nevertheless, without any reviews/news articles popping up in a gsearch, this is probably heading for delete. Coolabahapple (talk) 09:50, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete at best and draft & userfy for now as none of this better satisfies the applicable notability with the current coverage seeming thin for the notability also. SwisterTwister talk 03:21, 31 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I was able to find only one source about the subject:
1. Valeri, John (2009-06-05). "Limited-time only book bargains for the collector". Hartford Books Examiner. Archived from the original on 2016-01-06. Retrieved 2016-01-06.
  The article notes:
  Another stellar resource is VJ Books, reputed to be “the internet’s most well-known, well-respected source for signed and collectible books.” Currently, they are hosting a 50% Off Super Sale featuring titles by Michael Connelly, Tom Clancy, and Clive Cussler, among others. Eligible books can be viewed here.
  Founded 12 years ago, VJ Books provides more than 35 years of book collecting experience, with a specialty in signed, first edition, and limited edition books. Currently, they are taking pre-orders for upcoming releases by the likes of James Patterson, Lisa Gardner, and W.E.B. Griffin. A complete list of future releases can be viewed here. VJ Books also maintains an eBay store with both auction and “Buy It Now” options.
  Hartford Books Examiner is published by Examiner.com based on http://www.examiner.com/books-in-hartford/john-valeri. There is a strong consensus that Examiner.com generally is not a reliable source.
There is insufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow VJ Books to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".
