This dataset contains the list of all the books that have been, as of 17.04.26, published by a British independent philosophical publisher zer0 books founded by Mark Fisher. No copyright infringement had been made, and all the content is scraped from the website of collective ink, the "main" publisher to whom zer0 books are currently an imprint. The dataset includes':
- books titles;
- authors;
- straplines (one-liner bestselling pointlike descriptions/mottos of the books);
- summaries (more or less executive);
- blurb-like reviews of the readers, mostly niche area experts from the authors own niche research interests in philosophical, paraacademic, theory fiction research the publisher is known in the first turn.
The dataset can be used for fine-tuning the models to create databases of that kind, folowing the pattern, and other instances that can be relevant for all-but-book-text pieces of information about philosophical books. Theoretically, if you have the righteously owned copy of any of the books', you can add chunked books and train the model in creating the bibliographical/catalogue profiles of the books based on the text provided, using my data as a scaffolding. These are just hints, for sure!
