What isn't okay is saying that books written by "real physicists" are the correct ones, when Tipler and Llewellyn (and the other authors I didn't mention) are that. It's dipping into the No True Scotsman territory. Graduate studies is not the world in general; of course people who are studying a topic in their graduate degree program are going to be using textbooks of a higher calibre, but also at the cost of being inaccessible. HN isn't that audience, and neither are 99% of audiences.
