Actually, there's another way: do a web search for "audition excerpts" plus ".pdf." (without the quotation marks, obviously) As it happens, orchestras posting audition notices also post the required excerpts usually in pdf files; using those search terms I just came across the excerpts required for the KC Symphony auditions for clarinet/bass clarinet (which, interestingly, also includes excerpts for 2nd clarinet as well).
Obviously, I don't know if the excerpts were copied from the orchestra's library or from IMSLP, but at very least it'd give one a sense of what's being asked for these days.
Do that for an hour or so, download the files and print them out, and you have a pretty respectable excerpt book.
But for sight reading? I'm with GBK--read through the whole part. read through etude books. Read through ANYTHING, just be sure to do it regularly.
In fact, there must be threads on this very board about improving sight-reading, and I'd suggest doing a search here as well.
Good luck!
