The recommendations generally seem reasonable.

What bothers me is that they clearly have the data to allow for very specific queries, but there's no way to make them.

what bothers me even more is that all the data for those queries is user-generated, which means that users have essentially contributed value to the site but cannot get it back. that's the competition I would really like to see - a site that crowd sources book metadata in the form of tags and then makes the data freely available and searchable.
