Feature Request

Problem / Opportunity

On the books page, have a section that shows similar / alternative books (especially) if a book is unavailable.

Don't leave patrons at a dead end -- just because they have found the book record of interest does not mean we have helped them achieve their victory (which is likely to access this [or a similar, comparable] book)

Proposal

Needs a proposal. One option is leveraging library classification numbers (LCCN or DDC - dewey decimal) to do something similar to the library explorer, where solr queries are done to show neighboring books that would be next to this book on the library shelf.
