Most non-fiction books could be long essays at best. Books are usually padded with needless repetition and anecdotes.

  Really agree with this. If you have time I'd appreciate to hear some of your favourite high-value concise non-fiction books of any discipline...?

    a lot of scientific books are like that, for example the art of computer programming.

    My other favorites are Traction, Peopleware and Made to Stick. However, they are 230+ pages long. Pretty consise, but I think they could have been shorter. There aren't many non-fiction books that are 150p and less. Hmmm
