Non-notable author. His five books (only indications of notability) are all published by vanity presses Booksurge and PublishAmerica. Their amazon.com SalesRanks are 2,073,833; 2,604,926; 3,236,665; 2,191,489; and one is unranked. 406 Google hits (212 unique) for "Josef Bastian," many are not relevant. -Elmer Clark 03:23, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
