Calculus Excess

I was reading a book last week. One of the statements made was when
this certain person took Calculus in the 1960's the book was 379 pages
and cost $30. He stated most people in his class had no problems
understanding the subject. I wonder if our 1300 page $130 calc books
of today are an example of bloatware. Just a thought.
