Pay attention to the number of results. Try to get a manageable number of results that you can skim through.-- shoot for around 60 max in your results!
Too few books in your search results? Go broader on your subject and look at “prison systems”
Too many books in your results? Search for something more specific like “Lethal Injection” or “death row inmates”
