      Just being pedantic on the definition of a textbook.

      The books aren’t technically textbooks and buffet is claiming there are no textbooks.

      I doubt his statement is true because I’m sure there are plenty of textbooks that include references to the two referenced works in the meme but the meme isn’t making that specific case, hence the sarcastic use of “ackchyually”

        I guess I’m curious what distinguishes a textbook from a non-textbook. Both titles above were meant for academic settings, as well as for the average worker and organizer.
