If I am doing academic study the fastest way to find good information is to find couple recent studies and cross match their references for common citations.
This often ends up in summary papers, foundational papers and papers with well founded experiments. The fact as a society we pay for millions of researchers to do (mostly) research is a resource many people ignore.

If you find such a work in some niche subfield you know little about, but aren't sure that book's a good place to start, odds are good the author will name-drop most of the really important books & authors in the introduction. If you do this with two or three and cross-reference, any mentioned in more than one is probably something you ought to look at.
