No I would expect them to be written in formal teaching style; Although, I wouldn't complain if I found one.

No. Unless it was an experiment in sociology, how people respond in an environment that is more relaxed related to education.
You're asking simply if I would expect it to be written that way, no, I would expect it to be written methodically and straightforward. I assume that's why people use the saying, "well that's a textbook case of . . ." There is a standard I suppose, so people just expect textbooks to be logical and predictable.

Depends on the topic - I wouldn't expect a conversational book on taxation, but perhaps it may be more apropo in a book on selling or communication.
Bear in mind, this is all relative - I wouldn't expect to find a textbook written in Tom Wolfe style for any subject!

Generally no, but there are some subjects out there that a conversational tone for a text book is the appropriate way to go.

Yes. I enjoy learning only when I can understand the textbook.

Yeah, sometimes textbooks have quite an edge to them. However, that isn't how it should be. But what can you do?

No, it would be written with formal, academic language.

No. I would expect direct, unbiased, straightforward informational language.
