Speaking of texts, it seems that physics textbooks undergo a new edition
every three or four years or so. Personally, while I appreciate
improvements in the texts, in most cases I don't think the improvements
are worth the change. For example, when a new edition comes out, students
can no longer sell back used textbooks to the bookstore. Also, I write
study guides for the students and my references to page numbers and such
have to be redone for each new edition.
I'm sorry. I suppose I am just venting. Does anybody else share my
concern? Should I be concerned? Is there a textbook that
DOESN'T get revised every few years? Is there a solution?
