The use of previews

So, do people actually use previews themselves as their main/only sourse of comics? If so, what is the role of the comic shop in your comic buying? Is it a place to browse through new titles or a glorified pick up point ?

I tend to use the online previews and especially online recommendations here and elsewhere for sourcing new titles. In a comic shop I'll check out books that I've heard about, but I don't often consult the staff, as I'm not sure of their tastes or sure how well they know mine. I do quite happily spend about 3 hours browsing through Gosh and FP though.

Not now that my comics use has shrunk down to three or four titles and I'm not looking to expand. I occasionally go for stuff that's recommended here.
