For whom it is written: books are often written for various audiences, e.g. general public, undergraduate or postgraduate students, or for specialists in a particular subject.
Who is the publisher: have they published other academic titles? If the publisher is obscure or unknown to you, check again for reputable authors and endorsements.
When was the book published: some titles in Google Books are not the latest editions.
