"A handbook for all those involved in the writing and production of textbooks in developing countries, although primarily intended as a tool and practical guide to assist textbook authors. It includes detailed, step-by-step descriptions of how to produce a textbook, covering all aspects of planning and preliminary research, development, illustrations, design and format, typography, artwork, page make up, as well as reviewing aspects of costs. There is also an appendix of project evaluations, a bibliography, and a helpful glossary of terms." (Hans M. Zell, Publishing, Books & Reading in Sub-Saharan Africa, 3d ed. 2008, nr. 2452)
