Incomplete citations, dubious claims, conflict of interest?

Possible WP:COI in article created by one-topic-only / one-shot-only (started and ended in Nov 2009, then disappeared) editor Philgreaux. Additional conflict of interest by User:2602:306:33C5:1860:45B5:8F22:E345:A699 and March 2020 edit by User:67.164.142.104, with edit summary "We have added books to bring the list up to date".

The claim that Hausman's Bookstore Press "published some of the first paperback books for children" is un-cited and goes against the long history of paperback books for children published by Scholastic Corporation (as one example), founded 25 years before Hausman was born.

Article contains an 11-year-old list of multiple awards, but only provides citations for three of them. Includes a "USA Today Best Books Award", but (admittedly) quick online search finds no such award. To be fair to this author/publisher, and to other authors who do have confirmed awards in their articles, proper citations are needed here. Jmg38 (talk) 20:49, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
