The Skinner Box Effect -- Sexual Addiction and Online Pornography[edit]

What makes this book different from any other scare book out there? "Skinner Box Effect" and "Grundner" (the author's name) together get just 461 hits on Google. Nearly the entire text of the "article" is simply the text off the back cover, and the about-the-author blurb, verbatim, which means that if it isn't a copyvio, it's less an article about the book, and more about the book's jacket. Delete the current article and it's not necessary to create a new one until someone can demonstrate that this book is in some way different from the thousands that have and will come out chanting the same "OMG Internet pornography SO BAD even more dangerous than other kind OMG OMG" refrain. -- Antaeus Feldspar 11:44, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Delete. Looks like a book review by someone who hasn't read the book. Sjakkalle 13:11, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Delete ...a book? It's not Lord of the Rings. It's not very noteworthy. Plus I'd say Wiki's own Sexual Addiction and Online Pornography related article(s) would be more readily accessible to visitors than some single-run book would be. Good luck finding this in your local bookstore! EDIT: note they only discuss the front/back/inside cover, something you could find scans of on Amazon etc. If you're going to make a page about a book, at least READ THE THING, even if it's only borrowed from a library.
