Amazon.com Citations

Amazon.com Citations is a program that helps customers discover books related to those in which they're interested. Amazon scans every book in the Search Inside!™ program, looking for phrases that match the names of books in our catalog. We make a note of these "citations" and display them to you in one of two ways.

  • If a book cites two other books, we show you which two books it cites, and provide links to the pages in the book where the citations first appear.
  • If a book is cited by two other books, we show you which two books cite it, and provide links to the pages in those books where the citations appear.

Please note that Amazon.com Citations is not a comprehensive list of all existing citations. For example, an author may cite a book using a form of its name that differs slightly from that which appears in our catalog, or a title may be mentioned in a book that is not yet part of the Search Inside! program. In such cases, we will not find a match. If you are a publisher or author, you can increase your books’ lists of citations by adding them to the Search Inside! program.
