It's ordinarily 'other books from the same publisher', but... given that we're all self publishing, it strikes me that the situation's quite different.

I think a small problem you might run into is that a lot of the people who might be interested are also self-pubbers who are looking to defray costs, and advertising is going to be an increase in their costs.

Yeah. Plus, one of the things that make it work for 'other books by the same publisher' is that there's also a degree of known quality control, there. That's an unknown in the self-pub space. Although given people pay Amazon to put ads next to other people's books... ads in books isn't a jump.
