i need a decent book for linear and non linear optimization.

Currently i am using Linear and Non linear optimization by Griva Nash and Sofer, and it is by far the worst math book i have ever used. It does not have any solved examples or anything. It does not even have any proofs. It has sections only 1-3 pages long and they expect us to solve 10-15 proofs and examples based on it.

Any links or any other suggestion would be awesome too.
