When Quinn and Turner wrote their book Boom and Bust: A Global History of Financial Bubbles they concluded Tulipmania was not a bubble and so did't include it:

Quinn did an AMA when the book was published (2020):

* Book talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLl3Ijb01I0

Garber does have it though, along with Mississippi and South Sea:

See also perhaps Perez's book on tech hype and bubbles (starting with Canalmania):

In the AMA you link they say the tulip mania was probably a bubble just not a major one that impacted the economy meaningfully.
