Unsuggester and SGDS

I guess
I need to encourage more folks (73 more, evidently)
on the Unsuggester website
to
fess up to owning (or just order :^) a copy
of my book, before it will
tell me what I (we mystical geometers) probably
won't like... Here's what it spit back to me when
I tried it (just out of curiosity and a sense of
whimsy)... to see what might be interesting to
read as the "opposite library" to get a complete
perspective! 
Unsuggester takes "people who like this also like that" and turns it on its head. It analyzes the thirteen million books LibraryThing members have recorded as owned or read, and comes back with books least likely to share a library with the book you suggest. The unsuggestions come from LibraryThing data, not from Amazon. LibraryThing also produces great suggestions. (Update 2/24. I just regenerated the recommendations. Some of the examples on the right are no longer the first result. I'll update them soon.)
UnSuggestions
for
Sacred Geometry Design Sourcebook: Universal
Dimensional Patterns by
Bruce Rawles
2 members (690,229 more popular). Members with the book have have a total of 1,879 books in their libraries (see good suggestions).
Sorry. A book must be owned by at least 75 members to have unrecommendations.
