Sure, in book stores I shopped by section. I also always went to the new books self of a section to see what new books were out. The habit of checking the new books shelf is why trying to browse Amazon's SF&F section by publication date is so maddening to me.

A favorite scam by various porno, PD republishers and some indies is to keep changing the publication date so those books appear as just published. It would be so easy for Amazon to add filtering so I could filter stuff I'm not interested in out, but Amazon seems to have no real interest in that. Heck, simply showing me new books by authors I've bought books of would be a huge improvement.
