| | Textbook - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A textbook is a manual of instruction or a standard book in any branch of study. | | | Although most textbooks are only published in printed format with hard covers, some can now be viewed online. | | | Teachers are usually not required to use textbooks, however, and many prefer to use other materials instead. |

| | American School Board Journal: December 2000 Cover Story |
| | McGraw-Hill's Rogalin contends that textbook criticism is based on "anecdotal evidence or intuitive sense," rather than unbiased research. | | | Not one of the widely used middle school science texts passed muster, according to Project 2061, and none of the high school biology and algebra texts received high ratings from the scientists and educators who evaluated the materials. | | | If it's been awhile since you've followed a teacher's directions, you might be surprised to learn that a textbook even has 1,276 pages. |

| | College Textbooks - why so expensive? |
| | In the one instance that a college textbook was available both bundled and unbundled (only the textbook), the bundled version was more than twice as expensive as the unbundled version of the same college textbook. | | | Half of all college textbooks now come "bundled," or shrink-wrapped with additional instructional materials such as CD-ROMs and workbooks. | | | College Textbooks Publishers Put New Editions on the Market Frequently, Often With Very Few Content Changes, Making the Less Expensive, Used College Textbooks Obsolete and Unavailable |

| | The new digital textbook program imposes strict guidelines on how the books can be used, including locking the downloaded books to a single computer and setting a five-month expiration date, after which the book can't be read. | | | Fear of unrestricted copying has prompted publishers to release their books in formats that are unfamiliar to much of the public, or that hold copying restrictions, such as Adobe's Acrobat or Microsoft's Reader format. | | | The textbook publishing world has been moving toward digital sales for several years. |
