I don't get why someone would do that. "The internet" is going to have a lot more recommendations than some small shop, and you're more likely to find someone with similar if not the same tastes in fiction so their recommendations are more likely to be worth a gamble.
One of the reasons I stopped going in new book shops years ago was because they never had what I was looking for, and that was long before they were all full of Katy Price type books.
