How to find Good Pressings

Hi; I am wondering if someone could suggest a good book, web page, article or any other source that provides information on how to find or identify good pressings. I am getting a little frustrated purchasing records that end up being lemons. Sometimes we just dont have time to audition and it would be nice to learn some of the tricks of the trade when it comes to vinyl digging. I am sure many vinyl lovers feel my pain, so help me out and give some advice to the newbie. Thanks.

Yeah, I'm single because (as I have posted here before) I axed my husband for his stereo, and dumped him into the swamp for the 'gators to eat. Took the stereo and have been happy ever since. (PS I am wayyy too old @59+ to fool around anymore. One new free stereo was enough!!)
HAH HAH HAaaaaaa
