A Reset Scores option is a good idea. I'll look into implementing it for the next release.

I agree that the plugin only calculates similarity scores for the set of books you select against your target. However, as the purpose of the tool is to help you find similar books. I felt that it was preferable that I chose a title that contained the desired goal, as opposed to one that contained more caveats than a financial advert on the TV. I hope you will bare with me as the tool heads towards that goal.
