    3. @mushi A text book holds pieces of text you must be able to quote or at least memorize in a useable format. And a book is just the fabrication of binding pages with words and illustrations.

        1. @mushi I think the best way to go through college would be to call all books "books" ... and the REALLY important ones "textbooks" ... Important like the bible to a priest kinda important, only for your reason to go to college instead of [insert whatever priests do here]

    4. @widget I have had many courses where I didn't even touch the textbook despite it be "required."

    6. @mushi a text book is a type of book used in classes and is usually non-fiction and may be used as a reference book. Sometimes text book refers to novels required for a student in a literature class, but only within the context of school. I wouldn't say to a friend that my Shakespeare book is a text book normally.

      1. @pony books, they are all books in my heart

      2. @pony I am pretty sure that books by Shakespeare become textbooks if you study classic litterature
