Thanks - we’ve spent the last 13 years interviewing experts about their best books. We’re spoken to more than 80 philosophers covering all sort of philosophy topics.

This is rather amazing!

How many people are in your organization?

Do you keep in touch with any of the people you interview (or, have that option perhaps, say if you had followup questions for them)?

We’re a small company, our team is shown here https://fivebooks.com/contact-us/.

Yes, we keep in touch with many of the expert we interview and some update their interviews over time. For example our interview on the best Stoicism books was first carried out in 2016 and then updated in 2020 https://fivebooks.com/best-books/massimo-pigliucci-stoicism/.

Many of the experts are on Twitter and answer readers questions about the interview. You can follow us on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/five_books

Out of curiosity, do you happen to keep a database of reviewed authors and works, and maybe even a cross reference of various topics that have been covered across books and authors?
