  Imo the best place to start is in fact https://fontsinuse.com not even a generic search engine. See, if you visit them and enter "Saskia Olde Wolbers" in the search field (upper right corner), the first result you get is this specific book. It doesn't work for everything, obviously, but when it works, it works great. If it doesn't, then come the generic search engines. :). Source: about 1 year ago
