It’s a little off subject, but in his excellent (and funny) book “Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman!” he talks about idealistically getting involved the the textbook acquisition process for the local school system where he lived.
He said he wanted to review each book, and they looked at him like he had three heads, but sent him a huge crate of physics books, which he then laboriously marked up and categorized...all of them.
As I recall, when he tried to give his opinions, it turned out the choice had already been made, and none of the evaluators had even looked at the books at all...
Hehe, he was unaware there was a textbook racket...he was a major lib, but boy, was he funny!
Oh this is a funny book! Feynman was such an interesting character. Love his humor!
