Thank-you for bringing something else to mind: recommendations within books. I've seen this happen in various technical books, and they virtually always refer to something by the same author or publisher. That gets annoying since it ends up feeling like I'm reading an advertisement rather than a book. I sometimes see the same happening in academic titles, but I suspect that has more to do with the limited number of authors and publishers within a particular field.
