Science Fiction from Wells to Heinlein as a source on Wikipedia

As the book itself does not have an article, I'll instead note on this talk page that Stover's Science Fiction from Wells to Heinlein should probably not be used as a source anywhere on Wikipedia. See Gary Westfahl's review at https://www.jstor.org/stable/4241144, where he describes it as "an awful book" and "an embarrassment to its author, Leon Stover, to its publisher, McFarland & Company, Inc., and to the entire community of science fiction scholars", states that "its egregious shortcomings almost defy categorization", and comments that it is "riddled with errors".
