All Primers are Alphabet books? edit

Gee, from the redirect going from "primer(textbook)" to here, someone who isn't familiar with the terms might actually think that all primers are the same as Alphabet books (they're not). That's logically tantamount to someone typing in "fruit" and being redirected to "apple". There's also primers for mathematics, geography, geology, indeed, almost any subject. I'm becoming disillusioned at this kind of extreme austerity and minimalism at Wikipedia; this is a perfect example of how absurd it can be.Shanoman (talk) 06:31, 24 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

I agree that not all primers are alphabet books, so I replaced the redirect with a short article. --Orlady (talk) 05:19, 13 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

there are many different primers that are not reading books so i disagree that these pages should be merged (and agree with those above )Pascoe J Harvey (talk) 14:46, 24 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
