I use libraries. In Australia we have a National Library which records the holdings of most libraries in a single catalogue.

Most countries would have similar systems, but there is also Worldcat

excellent
My interests are so limited that I can usually find what I’m looking for via amazon searches.
Though I often find that I get good recommendations from reading other gamer blogs and forum posts.
Society for Military History Journal has a boatload of reviews posted plus a listing of recent articles on military history within its pages every quarter. That’s the best source for those who read widely in military history, across all periods and genres.
Great tip.
Britain at War magazine and the Journal of the UK World War One Association have great book reviews, but I often find one book leads to another. By checking out the bibliography of a good book it usually refers you on to other good sources. It would be even better if I could read a few more languages!
