I also serve on the editorial boards of

Small Business Book Awards gives away
awards for the best book in each category every year and, as I judge, I got
list of books one week ago with links to read and judge. Since I am passionate
about learning, I take reading various books seriously. As a judge, I read them
meticulously to choose the best books. Here is the process I adopted to choose
the best books as winners in each category:
First, I read the titles of all the
books. Second, I read their synopsis to understand the books that really
contains and conveys message to the readers. I have read the comments, likes
and shares of those books on the website link http://bookawards.smallbiztrends.com.
Third, I further opened the soft copy of
the books to understand the content and presentation. Fourth, I clicked the
online links for those books to understand the rank in sales in each category
and their overall ranks. I read the quality of endorsements by eminent thinkers
and authors, if any. I read the reviews the book received from the readers. Firth,
I shortlisted the best books in each category. I have read the books in each
category for their quality of presentation, uniqueness and the value they have
added to the readers. Finally, I have chosen one book in each category as the winner
for the year 2016.
The process of selection is very
challenging, and I feel it is the best possible way to shortlist the best books
within the shortest time to enable the best books to be the winners. I found most of the books are good. Hence, I
found it very challenging to choose the best.
I thoroughly enjoyed the process of
selecting the best book. I learnt many things from this process. I acquired
knowledge in my area of interest. I understood the latest developments and the way
presentation in books is changing globally. It was a great privilege to serve
as a judge for Small Business Book Awards. I decided to share it with my
readers as the knowledge grows when shared.
“The world is a book and those who do
not travel read only one page.” ― St. Augustine
