First 30 pages seems a bit too constricted depending on the book size. I like to flip through the whole book while randomly reading a few pages here and there to get a "feel" for it.

Yeah I had a great input about skipping that number and focusing on, say, 30% of the total book. 30 pages in a 1000 pages book is nothing. I also find that process of skimming the following pages to get a feel of it quite effective. That's how I "went through" Tim Ferriss's "4-hour workweek", which quite frankly is not a book for me. Not sure if there are fans here, no harm intended.
