This is one of my all-time least favorite takes.

For a lot of stuff, text is a good way to present information. For a lot of other things, information is best processed visually, often in the form of a video. Think repair, building stuff, 3D software, complicated GUI software in general, sports and gym technique, physiotherapy, anything that involves spatial motor skills really.

Imagine if IKEA instructions were text-only?

Illustrations are not forbidden. Every technical non-trivial book has illustrations. That’s normal.

  Either way, there is a lot of things where a book, with illustrations or not, is an inefficient way to convey information.
