All books are written with a particular audience in mind. To determine the audience for whom a book was written, you may need to do some investigating. Here are a few things to consider:
- Is the level of the book appropriate for your needs?
- Is it geared towards general readers, high school students, college students, graduate students, specialists or professionals, researchers or scholars?
- Does the text use technical or scholarly language and assume the reader is educated in that particular discipline?
- Does the content of the book gloss over several different topics or does it focus on one issue or topic and explore it in detail?
