Textbooks: An Overview of Textbook Publishing
Textbooks are print books or ebooks that accompany a specific class or subject at the school or university level, and suggest a curriculum--that is, a course of learning--for that particular subject. The textbook market generally differentiates between school textbooks (meant for elementary schools or high schools), and higher education textbooks (meant for colleges or other post-secondary schools).
