I agree. I once had a to buy a professor's book. It was
$240.00 of confusing sentence structure, no diagrams(other than manafacture's publicity material, written terribly). He actually made a slightly complex topic seem like we were
finding the "God Particle".
As to his profit, I'm not sure how much he made off of each
book, but the book is used across the world. The only
reason I think any instructor would use his book is because
it's a niche subject matter; the mechanics and theory of
hydronic heating systems.
If Dr. Hydronics ever reads this--you're probally a nice
guy, but you made a relatively simple subject complex.
Funnel your sentences. Use numbers. Don't use unnessary
words. KIS(keep it simple).
