How do you decide what book you'll buy?
Reviews?
Descriptions?
Ratings?

I pretty much know what a book is about and its position within literature and culture before I buy it. Not really sure how, mostly osmosis I guess. I don't really read contemporary stuff though and mostly I do it for education so it doesn't really matter if I like it or not.
