Has anyone else read of Richard Feynman's experience as a textbook

I have a vague memory of this, although I don't find the tale in a
quick scan of my Feynman books here.

IIRC, it's in "Surely You?re Joking, Mr Feynman".

Indeed it is (the index for this book is rather sketchy) - chapter
entitled "Judging Books by Their Covers." Thanks.
