It sure is. I still have my surveying textbook which I bought new in Sept 1958 for $8.50 from the school bookstore. It took me through two semesters of surveying [[3 hours class and 2 hours lab a week) and one semester of Mapping [[2 hours class and 2 hours lab a week). The book is small in dimensions, but closely printed and not much white space. Textbooks today are huge in length and width and are mostly white space with not much more information. They are also horribly expensive. I used to get through an engineering semester of 20 credit hours with about $50 in textbook costs.
