Those authors pretty much only focus on *oscillator* design. ( = electronics).
Bottom is a “crystal guy”. He focuses pretty much only on how to chop up
a chunk of quartz to get this or that result ( = frequency, temp coef, size, Q ).
Very different areas of interest and not a lot of “crossing over” between them.

So no, it you are looking to come up with an addition to your oscillator design 
library, go looking for a copy of one of Dr Rhode’s books rather than one by
Bottom.
