};It only makes sense of you can convince people.
There was thrift in my hometown, that was using excel to decide on the max credit for individuals. The document was copied and forked and the outcome was more random than anything. At least they could be convinced to introduce a database and a well written and maintained application, that does reliable work and provides the same output when given the same input.
I have worked at a company that started with Googledocs and ended with Markdown (paper / design docs) and reveal.js for presentations. And that is something I can take recommend. Why? Because it is simple text that can be stored in a repository and you gain the ability to compare versions. It is easy to change and you can convert it to almost anything. The most important target is obviously pdf to communicate with customers. Nobody wants odt, docx or other strange formats that require more than a browser.
Convincing the technical people was not necessary or done quick. Non coder like the CEO did like the suggestion least, but it was a revolution from the base and people who code where mostly creating content or talking at conferences.
Horrible I tell you Great disaster No longer necessary Catastrophic mistake
There are Banks that would pay Millions if somebody could extract business relations between companies. It would probably be enough in a fist step to know what a company name is an see if 2 turn up in a sentence. The author is asking for something that looks even harder to me. First identify book titles. And then identify a recommendation. I think machine learners like to play with images, because training is easy (recapture). But how should they go an tag book contents for recommendations. It takes much more time than identifying vehicles or traffic signs and requires more education.
Before analyzing something like that there will other things be done. Like work on the structure of sentences (who interacts). Or if some statement has a positive or negative tone.
