Summary: Very highly recommended for aspiring textbook writers
Comment: Writing And Developing Your College Textbook by Mary Ellen Lepionka (a veteran development editor in higher education publishing for more than twenty years) is a straightforward guide to creating an easy-to-understand, comprehensive, well-thought-out, accessibly organized textbooks for college-level courses. Individual chapters cover how to publish the text manuscript, as well as the importance of structure, ways to make drafting and revising easier, the right way to acquire permissions when needed, and much, much more. Writing And Developing Your College Textbook is very highly recommended for aspiring textbook writers regardless of the subject matter of the book itself.

Summary: Specialized advice for the colleg market
Comment: There are many books available on writing, publishing, and marketing your book. However, if you are preparing a book that you intend to be adopted by a college as a textbook, then most of those other books are of minimal value. The writing, publishing and acceptance of a college textbook is a unique undertaking. "Writing and Developing Your College Textbook" walks the potential author through the process of publishing your textbook.

The text takes you through the unique prerequisites for getting a publisher interested in your college textbook, use of an author team, knowing the market, the prospectus, and book outline. Then it walks you through the signing process and negotiating an agreement, book development, reaching your audience, creation of chapter apparatus, and all the various other details that must be attended to in order for your textbook to be successful. This is easily the single best book I have seen for the collegiate publishing market and a recommended read for anyone wishing to produce a college textbook.
