Unlikely Amazon Recommendations

A recent one for me: An Introduction To Catholic Ethics for Brave New World and The Best of H.P. Lovecraft: Bloodcurdling tales of horror and the macabre. :D

(PS If you post, please post the book(s) Amazon said it was recommended for if you remember it/them. Thanks!)

I do find some of their recommendations quite amusing, particular when it's obvious why the recommendation was made, and yet it's very far off base.

Case in point: In the Garden of Beasts: Love, Terror, and an American Family in Hitler's Berlin is recommended because I own A Venetian Bestiary

And I do wish they'd realize that owning abecedaria does not mean I want every single childrens book there is!

I cannot, however, fathom why owning Alain de Botton's A Week at the Airport results in recommendations of Doing Anthropology in Consumer Research and Nicomachean Ethics.

I can imagine that someone who has Doing Anthropology in Consumer Research could be pointed to A Week at the Airport. It sounds as if it could be a nice case study but just because you have the latter does not indicate any interest in consumer research.

Is is possible to indicate a one way recommendation?

Sure!
