That said, I think that your question is a bit loaded. Textbook-level treatment of a subject is usually very shallow (depending on the subject, I suppose).
- WalterBright 5y ago> several including myself Nice to meet the unicorn! Meanwhile, how many textbooks are on the shelves at Barnes&Nobel? Not exactly bestsellers, right? Even the University of Washington bookstore puts the textbooks in a separate room in the basement. > Textbook-level treatment of a subject is usually very shallow Maybe the ones you read are. The ones Caltech uses aren't, like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Gravitation-Charles-W-Misner/dp/0691177791 https://www.amazon.com/Gravitation-Charles-W-Misner/dp/06911...

- WalterBright 5y agoWow. I wonder what the rationale was.
