Nothing beats a good review when it comes to deciding whether to buy a book. Unfortunately, finding a review of any kind is rare. We found a review of only one of the books on our list.
TIP #1: Google each title for reviews
For example, Googling for REVIEW OF Guidelines for Laboratory Design: Health, Safety, and Environmental Considerations, 4th Edition (2013) results in the following …
///////
REVIEW OF Guidelines for Laboratory Design: Health, Safety, and Environmental Considerations, 4th Edition (2013)
Louis J. DiBerardinis, Janet S. Baum, Melvin W. First, Gari T. Gatwood, Anand K. Seth
“In summary, this edition of the book addresses a broad spectrum of end users including administrators, researchers, instructors, engineers, and environment health officers. The book is a useful comprehensive reference for academic institutions, but perhaps not for individual instructors.” (Journal of Chemical Education, 1 January 2014)

Once you have gathered as much information as you can for each title, it can be helpful to tabulate the data.
TIP #2: Create a table showing which titles have reviews and full text selections, as well as the number of times each title has been cited. For example …
