Next, you can collect information from the other people who read the book. You can ask your friend who familiar with the field. In these days, you can search book reviews on the Internet.

I refer to many books in my book. If you call "reading" only the firm reading, I have read most of the books only once.
Let me write it more concretely.
I read the book at least once roughly before the planning of my book. I read it to the extent that I can recall there are concepts which worth to introduce.
Next, I read the book so that I can grasp what page I want to refer before writing the manuscript. It is the second time.
I carefully read the part to refer. It is the third time.
Writing a manuscript as reading make descriptions in excessive detail. So I do not read the book when writing a manuscript.
Finally, I read the book to confirm that my explanation is correct. It is the fourth time.
