I didn't realize that that is what you were talking about, because you mentioned Amazon reviews, and I don't consider those to be directed towards a specific person.
The reason why I mentioned publishers is because when I was little I used to buy many SF books from a specific publisher, and I was never disappointed by my purchases. The fact that the book was printed was recommendation enough. Most people around me didn't read SF, so they wouldn't be in a position to recommend anything to me.
