The amount of dreck from a well known publisher is not so high. Also, world of mouth and reviews works for finding new books.

Another thing is that you know about good books already by authors you might have read. So there is really no reason to filter through unknown books just to find an equally good book. What you want to find is the extremely good book by a new author.
