what makes a "good" math book?
i wonder what you guys feel makes a math book "good". for the most part the topics for different subfields are already standardized, with the same list of contents, theorems, proofs, and even exercises. yet, even newer books come out every year, and people still prefer certain ones over another.
obviously everyone has different opinions about this matter. but what makes you guys pick a specific book over the other ones?
