trying to make peace with the idea that maybe my ideal writing format is the field guide (informing while informal, beginner-friendly, less about how cool I am and more about getting people excited about stuff)
one time a friend slipped up and sort of implied they didn't think Networks of New York was a "real" book and it has haunted me for years but the more I read "real" books on the subjects I'm into the more I'm like "this is not how I want to do it"
@ingrid Actually though, I think there's a market for "how to think about X" books, especially small ones. Think "Oreilly pocket guide" but instead of reference, overview. Not necessarily introductory, though many would necessarily be, but distinctions and salient conflicts in things are so great to have.
