The introduction is very important to me as it usually tells me if the book is right for me.
this is actually pretty good advice, cause sometimes you look at the table of contents and think: pfff -_-
and sometimes you think more like: alright! I rly need to read this book!
and u don't have to limit this to when you buy at the store, cause also at most (good) sites, they let u see the first couple of pages and almost always the table of contents.
Title can be important too, so I've learned. Titles like: ''make 10 million playing poker'' are usually a warning...
