Today it is <a href=\"https:\/\/fivebooks.com\/contact-us\/\">a small team<\/a> striving to bring you recommendations of the very <a href=\"https:\/\/fivebooks.com\/\">best books<\/a> on every subject. We don&#8217;t just provide lists, we also conduct in-depth interviews, often in person or via Zoom (and very occasionally via email) to delve deeper into each topic.<\/p>\n<p>Each interview takes a lot of time to put together. We look through the books, think critically about the topic, and then carry out the interview. Afterwards, there&#8217;s the transcription and editing, web hosting, design&#8230;all of which add up. On average, it costs around $400\/\u00a3300 to produce each interview, and we publish two to three interviews a week.<\/p>\n<p>To keep this project running and to continue bringing you high-quality interviews and book recommendations, we need your support. So if you enjoy <em>Five Books<\/em>, please consider making a one-off contribution, or a small regular donation. Even $2\/\u00a33 a month from you makes a big difference.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>How to Donate<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">There are three methods of donating to <em>Five Books<\/em>:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Apple Pay\/Google Pay\/Pay by Card<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You can make either a one-off or a recurring donation using Apple Pay, Google Pay or card, through the secure card payment system below, which is powered by <a href=\"https:\/\/stripe.com\/\">Stripe<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fivebooks-donate-style\">\n<form id=\"fivebooks_donate_stripe\"><p>I would like to donate in  \n    <select id=\"fb-currency\" style=\"width: auto; padding: 0 2rem 0 1rem;  margin-left: 0.5rem; border: 1px solid black; font-family: sans-serif;\" ><option value=\"USD\"selected=\"selected\">US Dollar<\/option><option value=\"GBP\">Pound Sterling<\/option><option value=\"EUR\">Euro<\/option><option value=\"CAD\">Canadian Dollar<\/option><option value=\"AUD\">Australian Dollar<\/option><option value=\"SEK\">Swedish Krona<\/option><option value=\"INR\">Indian Rupee<\/option><\/select><\/p>\n        <div class=\"form-control\">\n    <label for=\"fb-amount\">Donation:<\/label>\n   \t\t<div class=\"fb-amount-wrap fb-field-wrap\"><span class=\"fb-currency-symbol fb-currency-symbol-left\">$<\/span><input id=\"fb-amount\" name=\"amount\" class=\"fb-amount-input fb-amount-input-symbol-left\" type=\"tel\" value=\"20\"><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"form-control\">\n    \t<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"repeat\" id=\"fb_repeat\"> <label for=\"fb_repeat\">I would like to make this donation monthly<\/label>\n    <\/div>\n    <input type=\"hidden\" id=\"fb_currency\" name=\"currency\" value=\"USD\">\n    \n    <input type=\"hidden\" id=\"fb_form_nonce\" name=\"fb_form_nonce\" value=\"dfe33edb18\" \/>    <input type=\"hidden\" id=\"_wpnonce\" name=\"_wpnonce\" value=\"7330a3e5d7\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wp_http_referer\" value=\"\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/38859\" \/>    \n    <\/form>\n\n<button type=\"button\" class=\"checkout-button\" id=\"checkout-button\">Donate<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\nvar currencySelect = document.getElementById(\"fb-currency\");\n    currencySelect.addEventListener(\"change\", function () {\n        const urlParams = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search);\n        urlParams.set('currency', this.value);\n        window.location.search = urlParams;\n});\n\nvar stripe = Stripe(\"pk_live_djAXSBYUJA5iTk1X2B4zxOHN00VtlyrAlR\");\n\nfunction formatCurrency(\n\t\t\tamount,\n\t\t\tincludeSymbol,\n\t\t\tcurrencySymbol\n\t\t) {\n\t\t\t\/\/ Default format is to the left with no space.\n\t\t\tlet format = '%s%v',\n\t\t\t\targs;\n\t\t\targs = {\n\t\t\t\tsymbol: includeSymbol ?
