I find Goodreads to be a great place to find books from the reviews. Generally you'll see at least one review which looks compelling. Usually what I'm looking for is not a book target, but rather an on-ramp for the path to find the target. Often reviews lead to a key list of works for the subject you're looking for. Then you know you have found one of those keys when the reviews recognize the book as such and stop recommending other books. Though they will recommend similar texts which might be more accessible. Aside from Goodreads reviews, you could do similar through tracing a path of sources from the book (if you can find the sources for it.) Maybe do both.
