Bill Burr discussed how Bill Walsh wrote a football book that was highly technical, difficult to understand for non-coaches, and later became very popular among coaches.
"
how Bill Walsh wrote this book
he was approached to write a book on football and he wrote like like he basically showed the outline and he had diagram plays and it was like you had to be a coach to understand the book and the uh the publisher or whatever the the company he was doing the book with was basically like going dude you gotta like we can't put this book out like you got to be like a you got to be like a football coach to even understand any of this shit how about some pictures of you with Joe Montana how about some family stories and blah blah blah and he was just like no you want me to write write a book about football this is it right here
so the book bombed as far as not making money with just regular joes like even myself the amount of football that I watched but amongst coaches evidently that book became like a bible and if you can find like a hardcover version you find them on the internet they go for like three four hundred bucks or something like that
The First Six Books of The Elements of Euclid in which Coloured Diagrams and Symbols are Used Instead of Letters for the Greater Ease of Learners

"
Your foot is made mostly of oxygen with quite a bit of carbon joining it, giving its structure to the organic molecules that define you as an example of carbon based life.
