Then you are lucky. Since I don't know anyone that matches my tastes in books (even if we like the same book we like different things about it) I have to rely on other recommendations. If I like an author I'm not going to need a recommendation to buy the next book, but for new authors the choice is based on something. Whether it is the cover or the logo of the publisher on the cover, that is a recommendation from the publisher.
