You seem to be talking about Spivak's "Calculus on Manifolds", while the post is about "Calculus". Munkres's "Analysis on Manifolds" is a more didactically forgiving book than "Calculus on Manifolds" (and Hubbard's book works as preparation for both).

That's quite possible - I spent some time trying to figure out which was which but gave up and no longer have my copy. Which one is known as "baby Spivak"? (That's the one I was referring to.)
