I am, however, aware that other people often do purchase based on reviews or recommendations. I would be curious to see which camp has more campers.

This. I would never buy a book based on some one's opinion. I have always preferred to decide on my own, what books I want to read. I used to hate it when people would buy me books for my Birthday or Christmas. Invariably it was something I did not want. I was very happy when bookstores started using gift cards.
