My best guess is that they're doing something with their search algorithm and somehow the pages being generated for each item have gotten messed up too. Maybe they've started trying to add in more authors to their database rather than just a few to improve findability? It just reminds me of an issue we've been having with one of our modules at work.
In any case the search on amazon is currently warring with eBay for screwiest results, imo. I've had quite a few issues with it over the past couple of weeks.
