Dear Amazon.ca Customer,

We've noticed that customers who have purchased or rated Simpsons Comics on Parade by Matt Groening or other books in the Shows > Simpsons category have also purchased The Decline of Sentiment: American Film in the 1920s by Lea Jacobs. For this reason, you might like to know that The Decline of Sentiment: American Film in the 1920s is now available.

OK, exactly HOW MANY comic book readers are there that have also purchased this rather dull sounding non-fiction book about 1920's movies to result in this email?

For this reason, you might like to know that Ensuring Greater Yellowstone's Future: Choices for Leaders and Citizens will be released on May 13, 2008.

Huh? Just because I like fictional stories about planes doesn't mean I also feel like in-depth analysis about national park management and sustainment!
