I created a wikipedia article on a book entitled Divorce your Car!
The article gives a basic description of the book and then discusses the arguments presented in the book, there is also a short bio on the author.

I think that this is a good page. I like the flow and navigation of the page. Of course you could add some more info...
Of all the wiki commandments I guess you should follow:
7.)Write facts not arguments, unless listing salient arguments as facts
I think the arguments section is very useful, especially for a book of this kind. Maybe you are listing salient arguments of facts...yeah I think you are. Well, I guess just be aware of that.
1- Use photos/images
2- Research on the author and passages taken from the book.
3- I would expect to see a summary of the book, a short bio on the author, when the book was released, and if it has been successful in sales.
Great topic!
Commandments I think will be important for you are:
Be accurate and concise in your writing - its not a review, remember
Cite/list references - its ok to cite reviews, however
Be professional in tone and habits, proofread - since it's non fiction you can summarize the args
2 - research will include reviews, articles about the book, video clips of the author pushing the book, and content from the book.
3 - I expect to see a summary of the book, outlining major arguments. How the book has been received. Excerpts from the book. Sales figures, links to the publisher.
Would like to see photos used and links to other articles. References for any research would be great. Sounds like a topic of debate, would like to know more about both sides of that debate. Some history behind the authors and their reasons for writing the book could be incorporated.
1. facts not arguments
2. author's credentials, reason for the original publication,
3. influence, rationale, objective views
1 -- i love pictures. Especially of the book itself
2 -- I would like more information about the author, which i'm sure will come with time
3 -- I'm undecided on whether or not i like all the bulleted information on the content of the book. if kept, i think it should not take up the majority of your article
