   For linear algebra, I'm a fan of Hoffman & Kunze. The clearest, most useful book on the subject I've used: http://www.amazon.com/Linear-Algebra-2nd-Kenneth-Hoffman/dp/...

   My understanding is that in the 90s and 2000s publishers started realizing that they could sell bare bones textbooks and then sell those problem examples in compendiums, effectively double dipping on each student.

   Edit: For example, books like this: https://www.amazon.com/-/es/Gregory-Grant/dp/B08FP7SNZJ

   > In addition to well-explained solutions, this manual includes corrections and clarifications to the classic textbook Linear Algebra, second edition, by Kenneth Hoffman and Ray Kunze.

   Definitely - I went through some of his lectures after I had read up on Linear Algebra as part of a course (from [1]) and had used it in a bunch of applications, but I still found the lectures worth going through if only because his fantastic exposition helped me visualize things better.

   [1]we followed Huffman-Kunze https://www.amazon.com/Linear-Algebra-Kunze-Hoffman/dp/93325...
