Perhaps the web has no suggestions about good tennis books - I kind of doubt that. The real problem is that search really does not understand what I am asking - there is no semantic anything that might suggest that I am looking for a good tennis player's opinion of tennis books. It does not need to be the best tennis player, it does not need to be someone famous, etc.
I came up with an aphorism for this problem:
With context, Artificial Intelligence is easy
How to infer context, then, would seem to be the "fundamental problem of artificial intelligence." I have no particular insight as to how to crack this problem but until it is done I will be looking for good tennis books by linearly scanning all of the books Amazon has to offer.

The Inner Game of Tennis?
ReplyDeleteHere's what works best for me on Amazon. Start with any tennis book. Use the personalization features to browse around; specifically "Customers who bought this also bought", but the others are useful too.
You end up finding the most popular books in a genre and can easily tell what has a lot of reviews that are high rated.
YMMV.
It is like you are trying to find your doppelganger. That is not a bad strategy! In some respects one would like the UI to guide you in this experience.
