Amazon.com Citations

(Via Robert Michaelson on the CHMINF-L listserv)

Amazon.com Citations is a program that helps customers discover books related to the ones they're interested in. Amazon scans every book in the Search Inside the Book® program looking for phrases that match the names of books in our catalog. We make a note of these "citations" and display them to you in one of two ways.

• If a book cites two other books, we show you which two books it cites, and link to the pages in the book where the citations appear.
• If a book is cited by two other books, we show you which two books cite it, and link to the pages in those books where the citations appear.
