camwynI don't generally buy from Amazon or through Amazon if I can avoid it. I backed away from Abebooks when Amazon acquired the site. These days if I'm buying books, I usually look on bookshop.org for new ones and thriftbooks.com for anything else.
Mentioning this because I looked back at my past few book and media purchases and found myself wondering what the Amazon YOU WANT THIS PRODUCT, YES YOU DO algorithms would make of:
The Enchanted Places (Christopher Milne's memoir)
Wonder Woman: The Hiketeia Deluxe Edition
More Shtuff: Mutts III
The Klingon Dictionary
The Joys of Yiddish
Tinnitus Handbook
Klingon For Galactic Travelers
Edited to add: Tinnitus Handbook is a medical text on the subject, about three hundred pages long. After hitting one too many books for the general public that included homeopathic or herbal This Will Fix It We Swear remedies I wanted something scientific that was written by someone genuinely scientific, in their specific area of peer-reviewed scientifically valid expertise.)
