- anigbrowl 13y agoI found this new book surprisingly readable, but agree with your general criticism - I hope others will be inspired by this project to do more elementary open-source affordable books aimed at a more general audience. Imagine if kids could afford to buy their own maths books instead of having them dispensed by the school district with all the corruption that entails. I quite like this book that you linked, BTW.
