This is a fun feature on amazon.com which allows one to pick their favorite books on a certain topic, to share with others. The program then creates photos and hyper-links. I decided to make a bunch of these lists (21, with 305 total books!) in order to promote good books and create more name exposure in order to help sell my own book.
