Good examples as cautionary tales, or worth a look as how it should be done?

It's good, but very dry.

Look at the spacetime one and read the Preface, it gives a good overview of the "program". Read the first chapter and see what you think.

Disclaimer: I took these courses 10+ years ago from Matolcsi.

Thanks, I already started reading it. Initially my impression was that it's a fairly standard geometric formulation of physics, but I really appreciate the simple explanations.
