FiveBooks has a rating of 4 stars from 2 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally satisfied with their purchases. FiveBooks ranks 11th among Interviews sites.
Here at five book you can easily and quickly order any book from many publishers. And the main feature: the largest selection and nice prices. For me, there were nice discounts and bonuses for a regular customer. I advise.

I'm a sucker for good book recommendations. I'm always looking for them. The trouble is, I don't have a lot of time to read, and there aren't many books I actually like. Five Books offers a remedy of sorts--it tries to find clever people and asks them to recommend books about a subject on which they are meant to be expert.
For example, here's Jeremy Greenstock on diplomacy: http://fivebooks.com/interviews/jeremy-greenstock-on-diplomacy
My critique is that the execution thus far is only so-so. They don't have the best people in most subjects (who wants book recommendations from B+ writers or politicians!) and often they don't seem to ask the right questions. For example, economist Tyler Cowen is not asked about his top 5 books on understanding macroeconomics, but rather he is asked for his top 5 books on "information" which seems a bit vague and not to be his real area of expertise.
Overall, neat idea, some good content, but I hope they get better. I need more books to read.
