It is requested that a picture or pictures of this person be included in this article to improve its quality. Note: Wikipedia's non-free content use policy almost never permits the use of non-free images (such as promotional photos, press photos, screenshots, book covers and similar) to merely show what a living person looks like. Efforts should be made to take a free licensed photo during a public appearance, or obtaining a free content release of an existing photo instead.

An appropriate infobox may need to be added to this article, or the current infobox may need to be updated. Please refer to the list of biography infoboxes for further information.

[edit] Notability?

A quick spin through Amazon seems to suggest that most of the "70 books" this guy is supposed to have written are 32-page-long biographies for 1st and 2nd graders (like this, this, and this). See the WorldCat search results. So where's the notability? The inflated claim severely undermines the credibility of the article's author and makes me suspect vanity. --Calton | Talk 15:11, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
