Very cool. But am I the only person who finds non-mute-able music on websites annoying?
It's a pity that Alex and Tyler's book is priced in the strange world of textbooks whereby a $30 is suddenly over $100. It's the same problem as we have in the current medical debate, the decision maker and the person paying are different people: the real customer for the textbook is the instructor, but it is paid for by the students so there is no pressure to keep the price down.
It is interesting that in Britain, at least back when I was a student, no course I ever did had a textbook you "had" to purchase. The lectures and course notes on their own were the textbook. Additional textbooks were useful and recommended but not essential. As a result, textbooks in the UK were about 1/4 the price of the same book in the US and often available in paperback.
