I agree with this!!! I have a book that is consistently under 4,000 in the sales rank, yet not many people would search for me by name. Before I was able to let customers know about my follow up book right on the detail page. I've seen the sales of my follow up book drop dramatically over the last 2 months and now I know why! Not only does this affect me, it also affects Amazon.

I think we all need to encourage Amazon to add a feature to the detail pages that lists other books by a particular author. I did this today and hopefully it will be routed to the proper group - it's difficult to find who to send suggestions to.]]>
