Packt is... prolific. There has been a bit of a history of them
overloading the books pages, to the exclusion or dominance of other
publishers. Right now, for instance, searching for "packt" in
AdvancedBooks shows 249 results; each one has two links, and searching
the raw page for "[[" (to find all the links) shows 517 results. I
haven't done a full check, but these figures make it look like there
might be circa two dozen non-Packt entries on that page, and ten times
that number of Packt entries.

I'm concerned that the books pages are becoming nothing more than
Packt listing pages. Thoughts?
