In the case of a book on which there is no article a redirect to the author is appropriate. I don't think there are very many books which will support a decent article, but then I don't think the average episode of South Park does either. We need to have a discussion on which books ought to have articles. Some criteria regarding notability.
Something like that exists, a print run of 5000 figures in there somewhere.
I'm leaning more and more towards the attitude of people who equate notability with "the ability to write a meaningful article based on verifiable and reputable secondary sources". At the end of the day, if we have meaningful, verifiable stuff to say about insignificant topics, Wikipedia is not harmed to any great extent by saying it.
