About Gist books

If you don’t have enough time to read widely, or wish to encourage others to learn more about a subject, you can now create a personalised hardcover book, for yourself or as a gift. Gist books are high-quality information, beautifully presented. Something trustworthy, non-technical, and written by humans.

Our mission is to bring facts and inspiration to you, and curate a selection of great books and authors. Gist books are for anyone who wants to have better-informed conversations with friends and family.

For any subject, every Gist book has the same structure. We start with the facts, look closer at today's questions, and curate resources to learn more.

To request a meeting with our founders, or a special edition Gist book (any design on any topic) please get in touch via our Contact page.

And I could see them as a kind of readers that would be into this idea, maybe even of a book created just for someone else. And they've always been interested in the world around them, you know. So the audience is somebody who's not hyper-educated, but curious.”
Michael S.
“I thought the information was really good. However, there was a part of me where I was like, I kind of want more . That's great. …And I think part of it too,is to be able to update the information.”
Harken S.
"It's a foundation of information, meant to get you interested- a wonderful idea of creating a kind of bridge of communication.”
Valerie W.
“I've been going more to books. To just, not be distracted, be really focused on and dig deep for the information I'm learning and also treating it kind of like a time and space in my day that's more intentional and, like slowing down…”
