Eh? Do you mean my website? Those are all over the website: Math as a discovery point -> https://shepherd.com/search/shelf/693 https://shepherd.com/search/she

  That math books are mostly not a real math books. When I want to have a math book I go to torrents and download hundreds of them. They do not have so rich annotation as books on your website, but too rich annotations means you have only 10 or less books per page. The biggest flaw of your math book collection is that it was collected by not a mathematician. When I am looking a math book I typically looking for a book with some tasks after each topic. Same about philosophy - those are not a philosophy books. All attemts to mark some math or philosophy books as "best" do not work here, because I do not interested about what most people appreciated. I am interested in all books per field. For example, I am interested in Stoicism, but you have only "stoicism from a psychiatrist and philosopher" (what was the stupid reason to prohibit me from selecting and copying this line) - but I hate psychiatrists as scientific freaks. Another rebuke is that your webpage takes too much memory, I would like to see not so rich and colorful interface which should take less than 50MB per page.

    Dude, don't steal books :(, that hurts authors. Yep, we are probably not made for you. I get it. Our UX is designed for a different group of readers :). I hope you can find a great place to find books other than us.

      Will authors be pleased if I stop reading their books? How about dead ones? The most upsetting part of your website for me is focusing on new (recently published) books, while I use to appreciate older books more.

        We don’t focus on newly published books, why did you think that? We focus on the most loved books published in any year with everything we built. We have filters for the readers who do want to see specific years in some sections, but that is it. Books are fairly timeless. I think authors really appreciate it when you pay them for said book. The value is immense compared to the small cost, and otherwise there will not be more authors. Libraries are great too! I know if you are outside an English speaking country, books in English can be expensive, especially technical books, so i do understand. But hopefully one day you can pay that back.
