Just to prove I'm not a drive-by tagger, I actually checked iswiki for secondary sources, but it has none. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 11:07, 25 July 2015 (UTC)Reply
Fantastic, keep adding Notability requirements to every facet of Wikipedia and take us further away from the glorious LCARS future that could have been. However I refer you to this section in the very page on book notability A book included in Project Gutenberg or an analogous project does not need to meet the threshold standards.. Thus I'm removing the notability boilerplates and thank you for your interest in this matter. --Stalfur (talk) 02:23, 27 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

I'm having a hard time finding secondary sources about this book. Jón's plans are widely discussed in books (e.g., here) but his actual pamphlet is less often mentioned. This journal has at least a mention, but GBooks doesn't let me see it and my local library doesn't have the 1975 volume. Does anyone else have access to it?

That's the original work. I was actually looking for sources that comment on it. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 11:27, 27 July 2015 (UTC)Reply
The 1975 book is easy to obtain at local library. Another book on the life of Jón Ólafsson mentions Alaska - also available at local libraries. Other secondary sources are a myriad of newspaper articles, radio broadcasts and small clips from TV shows on the migrations from Iceland to Vesturheimur (Western World).
