Removed info to The Case for Latvia

I have removed the following from the article:[1]

The book The Case for Latvia studies Russia's disinformation operations against Latvia.^[1]

The reason for this is quote simple. This is an article on Latvia-Russia relations, not an article on the book. One can plainly see that what was inserted offers nothing on the actual relationship. Additionally, the reference for this is also the book itself. This is not how Wikipedia (and encyclopaedias) works. How Wikipedia operates is that one will take information from a source, and use it to present information in the article itself. Not just simply dump things as has been done in the article.

It may be suitable as a "further reading" link, but I use the word "may" quite strictly, as there is no evidence the book itself is notable--the article on the book is using references either from the book publisher (Finnish ref) or an online bookstore (Latvian ref). One is a primary source, the other is an unreliable source (it's a commercial bookstore). --Russavia ^{Let's dialogue} 00:17, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed that in this form it's suitable as "additional reading". PЄTЄRS J V ►TALK 14:16, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
