There is much truth to this post about about #math textbooks.

@oantolin
Wasn't there a Feynman story about how he tried to help the school board of the place he lived at to select a new math book and has similar experiences?

With the unassuming one being the best in his opinion, while the fancy ones were crappy?

Or do I remember incorrectly?

@MeiLin @oantolin it was physics textbooks for school students iirc. He found them so bad he just started chucking them to the floor, and the thud was so loud it could be heard upstairs.
