I am curious too as to where one might find textbooks on Social Darwinism?
I don’t know of any universities teach SD as a subject or a course, so I haven’t heard of any university using SD textbooks.

@BilliardsBall:
You used the plural “textbooks”, not “textbook”, so there must be multiple “textbooks”.
And textbooks are frequently used high schools, colleges and universities. You don’t just buy textbooks from any local bookstores.
Back in high schools, they would give a list of books you would need to read for that year. My parents would pay for them, while the school would ordered them and deliver the books the following semester.
But at universities and colleges, they have their own bookshops (the ones I have been to were located inside the universities’ libraries, where they normally have the books in stocks. In the campus I have been to, there can be hundred of students or more studying the same subject, so you cannot simply borrow the books from the libraries.
Can you share the titles of these so-called SD textbooks that are actually being used or taught in university subjects or courses?
Which university teaches Social Darwinism as a course or as subject?
And btw, BilliardsBall.
I have just did search in one of the universities I used to go to, in Melbourne. I did a search for “Darwinism”. Nothing, nada...not as a subject, and certainly not as course.
So I went to the biggest and oldest university in Melbourne (which is University of Melbourne), and did a search there. An lo and behold:
Darwinism: Evolution & Revolution (HPSC20001)
But guess what, BB. This undergrad course isn’t available, but more importantly it had nothing to do with Social Darwinism, and no subject on the matter of SD. This course is all about Evolution, biology, not about Social Darwinism or about Hitler.
Why don’t you do a search at your universities near where you live, and see if you can find a course or subject on Social Darwinism.
And btw, try to find SD textbooks used at university, actual study materials used in lectures.
