I think that's a great idea. Browsing is a great way to find items
that you may not have been aware of at all. I know there was a
discussion on this a few days ago (at least that's when I read it),
but I was *way* behind on my email reading and didn't get to comment
when everyone else was. One of the first things I look at in an Amazon
record detail page is the "buy together with" feature - it showcases
something related (by the same author, on the same topic, etc.) that I
may not be aware of yet. That sort of browsing is something that I
think we don't do well at all, but should!
