Yes, but it will take people directly there (but it's an extra step for you) if you:
1. Go all the way to the page for the book, which will have a URL like:
2. Find the number after "ASIN", in this case: 0891902198
3. Copy and paste it into this template:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/xxx/drbobsvirte00-20
4. Which gives you:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0891902198/drbobsvirte00-20
> Maybe a better thing would be to have the books listed at your book recommendations site and then people could refer to that. Anyone who wants to suggest a possible book could also put in a mini review if they want, too.?? What do you think?
I think you're right, but it would take some work on my part to automate that...
