Perhaps I'm just old and cynical, Danny, but for me, writing textbooks was just a job that I got paid for. I had a contract to write a book, I wrote it, I got paid, I moved on and did something else (IT consultancy, to be specific). I don't have any romantic notions about writing being different - it's just a way to make a living.
