The logic used to display "Other books in the rack" is purely based on DDC. LCCN is not yet implemented. Hence it may be displaying erroneous for the LCCN. Next update will have support for LCCN too.
The logic used for DDC, in the below sequence
1. Books are searched with same class number
2. Books are searched with same class number and right truncation
3. Last of character of the class number is removed and again right truncation search on the resultant string is done
In the above steps only 8 ids are picked up

Can you please tell me what might be the reason why 2 books with the same class number have different display in "Other books in rack": One (i.e., w/ call # PZ7.D644 R484 1988) has a populated 8 books in "other books in rack", while the other one (call #: PZ7.D644 S544 1988) has an empty "other books in rack"?
[By the way, the former's books on display doesn't include the latter book, even though there are no other books closer to the book than that other book.]
I'm just curious as to why this happens.
