Nice textbook

I am using the introduction to analysis textbook for my advanced calculus course this semester.. The author is the BEST I have ever seen... haha just saw this in my assignment:

Exercise 12.4
Hint: prove the following claims:
a) blah blah
b) blah blah
c) blah blah
then refer to exercise 9.9 c)

So I happily turned to 9.9 c), and I saw this,

To prove this theorem, you have to consider 3 cases...
Case 1: Please refer to Theorem 8.2
Case 2: Please refer to Theorem 8.3
Case 3: Please refer to Exercise 8.9

so...

I turned to Theorem 8.2, and I happily found "this theorem is built on Theorem 4.6... "

and Theorem 8.3 happened to be an extension of Theorem 7.8

and to solve Exercise 8.9, "please refer to page 42..."

......

This hint is quite helpful man!!! Help me revise the whole book for this proving question... I do not dare to continue with theorem 4.6, 7.8 and page 42... Later I might be asked to refer to the wikipedia for blah blah and this might never come to an end!!!!

Argh!!!
