Book-Selection Process
What books do we summarize?
The short answer: All the business books essential to your job and your career.
The longer answer: We monitor the publication of more than 10,000 business books every year. Every title that survives our initial team screening is rated from zero to ten using a rigorous team review process. Our rating criteria are applicability, innovation and style. We prepare summaries only for those books that earn an overall rating of five or higher to assure the quality of the material. We pick 500 new titles every year. Books featured on getAbstract are of exceptional quality.

The very short answer: If it's not on getAbstract, it's not worth knowing.
