Book on differential geometry which uses germs

Question

I would like to start learning differential geometry and I find the concept of germs very beautiful and enlightening. Unfortunately, I have Lee's Introduction to Smooth Manifolds, which only mentions them without using them. Is there any differential geometry book which develops the theory around germs, and adapted for a first course in differential geometry? If so, is it a good idea to start learning with that point of view? Or would you rather advise me to learn the classical approach first?

Answer 1

I think "Global calculus" by Ramanan is a good book to have a look at. Though I would not consider it an introduction to smooth manifolds and would be more profitably read by someone that already has the hands-on experience that Branimir mentions.
