I'm looking for a text which contains a proof for the change-of-variables formula. Standard texts on calculus typically cover the case of a bijective $C^1$ change-of-variables, namely \begin{equation}\label{eq:1} \int_{F(U)} \phi(x)\, dx = \int_U( \phi \circ F )(y) \,|J_F|(y) \,dy.\tag{1} \end{equation} (here $J_F$ is the Jacobian of $F$).
I am looking for a reference for a the generalization for a non-injecitve, but still $C^1$, change-of-variables, namely \begin{equation}\label{eq:2} \int_{F(U)} \#(F^{-1}(x)) \,\phi(x)\,dx = \int_U( \phi \circ F )(y)\, |J_F|(y)\,dy.\tag{2} \end{equation} It appears that most text which offer a generalization of \eqref{eq:1} go far beyond \eqref{eq:2}: some include \eqref{eq:2} for Lipschitz maps, while the most common generalization of \eqref{eq:1} one finds is the (co-)area formula. Both are (significantly?) more technical than the simpler case of $C^1$ change-of-variables. Some books do mention formula \eqref{eq:2}, but as an exercise or remark after discussing \eqref{eq:1}.

My question is this: are there textbooks where formula \eqref{eq:2} is proven (at least in the form of a guided exercise) for the case of $C^1$ maps?

Note that this is not a exactly duplicate of this post, where the discussion is at least in part more pedagogical.

Thanks in advance!

I'll answer my own question, in case someone else has the same one: a good reference is given in this answer - this is Theorem F.1 in Taylor's "Measure Theory and Integration".
