Some points to consider to help you to decide if a printed source is relevant:
- Title - Does the title indicate that the item is too specific or
not specific enough? Is there a subtitle with more information?
- Author(s) - What are their credentials and reputation, are they associated
with any institution or organisation?
- Date of publication - Is it recent enough for your work? Does it
need to be recent at all?
- Edition - Multiple editions indicate the item is well regarded enough
to have been through revisions, and has been updated
- Publisher - Is it published by a recognised body?
- Name of journal - Scholarly or popular? What audience is it directed
towards?
- Subject headings - What headings are assigned to this source? Are
they the same as other sources you have found useful?
