Hello, I was wondering what are your thoughts on the current definition of the lead, as the former definition could apply to reference works as well as to textbooks, which could be confusing.

I have changed this: "A textbook is a comprehensive compilation of content in a branch of study." to this "A textbook is a book containing a comprehensive compilation of content in a branch of study with the intention of explaining it." so as to make the definition narrower and make sure it only refers to textbooks.

Thank you for expressing your thoughts!

:I have just text about Peter Ramus (Petrus Ramus) as inventor of the text book, with the compilation of a body of knowledge in it, as more than just the technology of printing (important though that is.) Tonytrefoil (talk) 09:43, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
