|
|
Got this from Amazon today, wondered if anyone agreed with them.
We've noticed that customers who have expressed interest in The Cry of the Newborn: The Ascendants of Estorea Book 1 (Gollancz SF) by James Barclay have also ordered The Somnambulist (Gollancz S.F.) by Jonathan Barnes. For this reason, you might like to know that this book will be released on 22 February 2007. You can pre-order your copy for just ?5.99 (40% off the RRP) by following the link below. _________________ Member and President of the Will Begman Appreciation Society.

I usually ignore amazon-recommendations, especially since they've recommended a French book to me (the French words I know are bonjour and merci ).
Anyway, I've never heard of that book . _________________ The question that sometimes drives me hazy: Am I, or the others crazy?

Amazon recommendations have very little to do with anything really. They've never helped me, even once. In fact half the time I hate Amazon. _________________ Walk the dark path, sleep with angels.. |

The trouble with Amazon recommendations is that they are based on people surfing around the site but they have no idea if what the customer is looking for is for them or a gift for someone else.
That's why storycode is better. Coding a story gets you books recommendations based on the code you just inputted... sorry, couldn't resist the plug. _________________ 'A human with a hand outstretched in friendship carries the fangs of a taipan in his palm.' A TaiGethen saying. |

they could do with a garding system so you could say that an item you bought was for you or a gift.
then they could reccomend for both groups |

My favourite Amazon rec email was the one that noticed I'd bought the 30th Anniversary box set of Bruce Springsteen's classic Born to Run album, and on that basis assumed I'd be interested in a copy of Classic FM Mozart for Babies...
