I remember back in the good old days when mail-in book search requests and recommendation abacuses turned up nothing but hundreds and hundreds of titles that I couldn't wait to spend my hard earned money on. It's a damn shame these new-fangled computerty book stores came along and ruined a perfectly good way of searching for anything and everything under the sun that one might want to read. Heck, I practically wore out the recommendation drawer on my library's card catalog myself (couldn't wait 'til the third Thurs of every month; when the new recommendations got added). Man, those were the days. Nothing like the limited, slow, crippled, narrowly defined, crapppy search/recommendation engines of today!
