How It Works

Book Selection Process

At getAbstract, we are committed to quality. That is why we rigorously review every title before we decide to include it as a book summary in our extensive collection. We know our subscribers only want the best, most relevant information. Our book summaries represent the best of the best.

So, just how do we select the titles we choose to make book summaries for?

The short answer: all the business books essential to your job and your career.

The long 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 executive book 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 and are geared toward the topics our clients are interested in

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