I don't want the "best" textbook in a subject any more than I want the "best" editor[0]. "Best" is a really big judgement call.
I want "widely accepted as great" or maybe even "good." Great or Good books may not cover exactly the same material, but any given one is likely to cover most of the material (all of the material that author/team considers most important) and avoid mistakes.
