- The Title – it should touch on the subject of your interest. However, this does not mean the book will be automatically relevant for your specific purpose. You must check other sections of the book to determine its usefulness for your purpose.
- The Publishers’ blurb – this is the publishers’ description of what the book is about. It is usually found on the flyleaf of the jacket or back cover of the book.
- Reviewers’ comment – you should carefully scrutinize these because they could be biased.
- The Forward, Preface or Introduction
- The Content Page (chapter headings and subheadings)
- The Index and Glossary section if available. These will show you at a glance the specific issues/things or items dealt with in the book.
- The Printing history; that is, when the book was first published, where and by who. Whether the book has been revised, reprinted or re-edited. This information is usually printed on one of the first pages also called prelims.
-The Author(s) – if any information on the author’s background is given it is necessary that you read it. Different publishers put information on the author either in one of the front pages or on the outer part of the back cover. However, the author’s name appears on the front cover below the title. It is important to read about the author to decide on his/her expertise on the subject and hence his/her credibility.
