Review of science textbooks from 50 years ago

A lot of teachers talk about science textbooks as if they are the holy grail and truth – ”so you think the textbook is wrong?” followed by chuckles. It would be amazing if someone did a proper review of a few textbooks from 50 years ago, and tried to put a number to just how wrong they were about how things worked. I don’t really know what this number is - could be low or high. Not sure how many books from so long ago still survive but maybe some do.
