Wikipedia:WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles/List of notable books

{{Template:Project missing articles}}

Below is a list of notable books that may not be covered in Wikipedia. The notability of the book is defined by one or more of the following criteria: critical acclaim, large sales or recognition as one of the best in its genre. Many of the books and authors already have existing articles about them but may need to be redirected. You may want to consider creating a redirect if the name is appropriate.

If you are creating a new article, please follow the guidelines at WikiProject Books. For further instruction see the guidelines at the project page
