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.

I know a lot of people tend to buy from specific publishers. I don't have any idea who the publisher of any one of my favorite books is. I would be hard pressed to name more than six or eight publishers. I realize I may not be representative of the rest of this community.
I was speaking of recommendations from a social point of view. I mentioned Amazon reviews mostly with regards to other purchases, illustrating that I do take "advice" from people on other items, just not on books. Sorry if it was poorly stated.
