That's what I thought I'd have to do.

  The only way I know is to download it and do some spot checking. I suppose 
you could do a ranked spelling and see what the percentage is, but that could 
be misleading if there are a lot of proper names and special words, as SF and 
Fantasy have. If a book is of poor quality, it won't take long to find out just 
reading here and there around the book.

    I'm going through my shelves preparing books to be donated to a local 
library.  I don't want to donate a book just to find out that I should have 
bso-ed it.  We all know that some books were called excellent when they aren't 
by current standards.  Is there a quick way to figure out if a book needs 
bso-ing.  
    Thanks.
