These recommendation systems, drawing on vast databases of information about individuals’ purchase histories, are usually pretty reasonable in their suggestions.

I had a similar experience on Amazon: I bought a CD by
the novelty group THE THROWING TOASTERS and Amazon asked
me if I also wanted to buy— A Toaster!
Why the correlation? And might it explain the correlation
of BLOWN TO BITS and Zombies? Asking around I got the
following explanations about THROWING TOASTERS:
(1) If the number of purchases are low enough, Amazon
just does a keyword search. Unlikely for your book which
I am sure sells quite well. Maybe for the Zombie book…
(2) The FEW people who bought the Throwing Toasters CD
also bought Toasters.
Could the word BLOW TO BITS have connotations of violence
so that the Zombie book seemed to be a good match?

Another suggestion I got was that it was an artifact of a couple of bulk purchases. Perhaps it needn’t actually have been more than one buyer in common, if that weirdo buyer bought a dozen copies of both books?
By the way, apologies to all commenters whose comments sat in the spam queue for days. For some reason, more than usual seem to have been automatically flagged as possible spam lately, and I didn’t notice that the queue was building up.
