Amazon has a feature whereby it examines your previous buying record and recommends new products of a similar nature. I’m sure it’s similar to “Customers who viewed this item also viewed” really.
Except that today I got the opportunity to buy the new Le Carré novel, The Mission Song for the bargain price of £30! Except that it would have been better if it had pointed to this version of The Mission Song at the rather more attractive price of £8.99 and which is currently sitting at no. 12 in the sales rank.
No doubt the pricier volume is either some kind of special edition or a foreign copy. It’s not clear on Amazon.
And it’s quite amusing that I got this warning from Amazon at all following my previous complaint that they don’t have an automated system to let me know about new books by selected favourite authors.
