Did Amazon’s book recommendation computer crash?

I buy lots of books Amazon recommends, even though some of the suggestions are wacky. For example, last year I got a recommendation for a book about hysterectomies. Here’s another nutty one I just got this morning:

We’ve noticed that customers who have purchased or rated Antique Trader Book Collector’s Price Guide by Richard Russell have also purchased The Journalists’ Privilege not to Disclose Their Sources in Court- A comparative Study by Valentina Bratu. For this reason, you might like to know that The Journalists’ Privilege not to Disclose Their Sources in Court- A comparative Study is now available. You can order yours for just $64.00 by following the link below.

The Journalists’ Privilege not to Disclose Their Sources in Court- A comparative Study Valentina Bratu Price: $64.00

Thanks, Ammy, but I’ll take the Fifth Amendment on this one.
