When I was a bookseller, I ordered books from f&G's and galleys with a rep telling me about each book. As a librarian, I choose based on reviews which are, in fact, just one person's opinion. That is not to say that those opinions are glib or unreasoned, but each reviewer brings his or her own take on the books reviewed. You are lucky to be able to do the hands-on evaluation for so much of your non-fiction. You are the one who knows your community, your kids
and your curricular needs best. Great! Bina Williams Bridgeport Public Library (CT)

I am a media specialist for an intermediate school, grades 3-5, and while I rely heavily on reviews and recommendations for fiction, I purchase non-fiction differently. Most of my nonfiction purchases are made after seeing book samples from sales representatives or at expos, and matching that to the interests and curriculum of our school. Some nonfiction is purchased based on recommendations from other media specialists, as well as from reviews and catalog browsing for specific subject matter, but the majority is chosen from me seeing, touching, and reading nonfiction books that are presented to me in person.

As a nonfiction writer, I would be very curious to know how teachers and librarians decide what books to purchase.
