The textbook is somewhat technical, but easily understood after taking

one's time to digest the material. What do you expect for mathmatics. The course I'm taking is a refresher in algebra and should prove to be a good

launching pad for higher and head banging math!!

 "The book to buy if you are thinking of writing a textbook" 2009-05-14
By Hal Jordan (USA)
This is by far the best book out there for anyone thinking of writing a textbook. Lepionka is an experienced development editor, and it shows. As a textbook author, I can say that nearly everything she says rings true. She provides a detailed step-by-step account of how to attract the attention of a publisher, how to prepare a prospectus, what to expect during contract negotiations, how to interact with a development editor, and so on. This is information that is difficult to find elsewhere.



There are two points that I would like to add to her discussion. First, in signing a contract give very careful consideration to royalties on electronic versions of your text. The publishers are making a strong push to convert instructors and student to using electronic texts. Boilerplate contracts typically specify very low royalties on these sales. Even a couple of years ago, this didn't much matter because electronic texts had a very limited market. These days, though, you could lose a good chunk of your royalties if you don't negotiate a decent rate on electronic copies. Second, there is no longer much money to be made in writing texts for upper division or graduate courses. The used book market is so well organized, that a good part of your sales will be taken by resold comp copies. It is not at all unusual these days for even moderately successful upper division books to earn just a few thousand dollars in royalties -- less than you could probably earn teaching a summer course or two.



There a couple of essays on textbook writing available on the web. Be cautious in accepting their discussions of royalties. The one written by an accounting author (whose own text only lasted one edition) gives a very inflated idea of how much you are likely to earn in royalties.



Finally, even though I already owned the first edition, I couldn't resist buying this second edition. I was not disappointed. She did an excellent job or revising and updating the discussion.

 "Great text for the in's & out's of textbook writing!" 2009-01-02
By Heinrich (Midwest)
Buy this book! This author has a fantastic reputation in this realm of writing. She is the best!

 "Writing and Developing Your College Textbook" 2008-04-30
By H. Rubenstein (West Simsbury, CT)
As an experienced textbook development editor, I think this text is an extremely valuable resource for any author who wishes to enter the college market, as well as for experienced authors who want to keep on top of

trends in the rapidly changing textbook industry. Lepionka has filled previously unserved niche of the publishing marketplace in expert fashion.

 " Now in a fully updated and significantly expanded second edition" 2008-04-03
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)
Textbook publishing for technical schools, colleges, and universities, is a very specialized and potentially lucrative section of the publishing industry and one that has both state and institutional compliance requirements and standards that must be adhered to by authors who aspire to have their books adopted for curriculums, library collections, and student reading list. Now in a fully updated and significantly expanded second edition, "Writing And Developing Your college Textbook: A Comprehensive Guide To Textbook Authorship And Higher Education Publishing" by Mary Ellen Lepionka continues to be the premier introduction and instruction reference guide manual for college instructors, academic authors, textbook editors, and publishers of education materials. Beginning with informed and informative chapters on the college textbook publishing industry, "Writing and Developing Your College Textbook" continues with superbly organized and presented chapters on what authors must do to interest a publisher in their manuscript, publishing contracts, textbook development, identifying the intended readership and their needs with regarding the textbook's subject matter, writing with authority, the role of 'Learning Objectives', 'Heading Structure', pedagogy, chapter organization, 'Feature Strands', drafts and revisions, issues of length and management schedules, permissions, and visual elements for text enhancement. Of special note is the up-to-date advice with respect to pricing issues, academic self-publishing, open access, digitization, 'wiki-textbooks'. Simply stated, any author aspiring to write and have published a textbook, regardless of its subject matter, should begin by giving a careful reading to what Mary Ellen Lepionka has laid out in the pages of "Writing and Developing Your College Textbook".

 "Very professional" 2004-03-22
By Anthony Haynes (Newmarket, UK)
There aren't many books about textbooks and the ones that do exist tend to be rather theoretical. This one is very practical. You can tell it isn't written by a hack: the book is full of concrete details based on experience. As a textbook publisher myself, I feel confident in saying that no prospective textbook authors could read this without profit - and I doubt any experienced authors could either.

 "Pretty good text" 2009-10-20
By ALEXIS M. ALLEN
This textbook was helpful and clear. I was able to use this book effectively in my coursework even when I missed lecture.

 "College Algebra" 2009-07-01
By M. H. Anselm
Good product, exceptionally quick delivery time, flawless transaction! Only problem is there were a couple of detached pages, which was not mentioned in the description. However, I got this problem sorted out with a little glue. The price made it worthwhile. Overall, the cover was in pretty good shape and all the pages were neat.

nice modern cover, but the examples are not explcit enough, dont get this unless you're great at math, i had to because my instructor assigned it.

 "Good textbook." 2008-01-07
By James K. Count (New City, NY)
Some textbooks can be really hard to follow and aren't put together very well. This is one of the few out there that's well thought out, easy to understand, and gives lots and lots of useful examples that make topics clearer and clearer as you go along. It helped a lot to have a good textbook in class.

A BETTER WAY TO COLLEGE ALGEBRA X-PERTISE

One of the most valuable tools acquired in a university education, college algebra is essential for courses from the sciences to computing, engineering to mathematics. It can help you do better on placement exams, even before college, and it's useful in solving the computations of daily life. Now anyone with an interest in college algebra can master it. In College Algebra Demystified, entertaining author and experienced teacher Rhonda Huettenmueller breaks college algebra down into manageable bites with practical examples, real data, and a new approach that banishes algebra's mystery.

With College Algebra Demystified, you master the subject one simple step at a time—at your own speed. Unlike most books on college algebra, general concepts are presented first—and the details follow. In order to make the process as clear and simple as possible, long computations are presented in a logical, layered progression with just one execution per step.

This fast and easy self-teaching course will help you:

• Perform better on placement exams
• Avoid confusion with detailed examples and solutions that help you every step of the way
• Conquer the coordinate plane, lines and intercepts, parabolas, and nonlinear equations
• Get comfortable with functions, graphs of functions, logarithms, exponents, and more
• Master aspects of algebra that will help you with calculus, geometry, trigonometry, physics, chemistry, computing, and engineering
• Reinforce learning and pinpoint weaknesses with questions at the end of every chapter, and a final at the end of the book

 "WHEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" 2009-03-19
By Michele L. Nalls (ohio)
This book was very helpful. I was in a 5 week college math class online. Our ebook nor our hard copy book offered as much insight or help as this book. It was totally worth the money I spent on it to get me the "A" I needed!

 "Not good for self study" 2008-05-28
By Terry Abendschein (Crowley, TX)
The only reason I gave 2 stars was because there are quite a few problems to work out. If you want supplemental problems for a College Algebra class to work then this book is right for you, if you are trying to use it as a self study guide then do not bother purchasing this book, I would recommend Schaum's Outline College Algebra. The author does not explain the steps in how problems are solved, if you are using this for self study, which the author proclaims, you do not have access to a instructor to ask your questions so adequet explanations should have been included.

 "If you're going to buy Pre-Calculus....." 2008-01-02
By YSS127 (U.S.A.)
I felt this book was written with clarity.

Much of it was a review for a subject that I had studied years ago and had forgotten. Its written much better than the book I had back then.



However if you intend to purchase "Pre-Calculus" by the same author, buy that book and by-pass this book. Most of the material is duplicated in "Pre-Calculus" plus the additional material you will need for calculus.



Pre-Calculus is also a well written book.

 "Do yourself a favor and buy this book." 2007-08-22
By Roger Carroll (Jacksonville, Fl.)
I haven't taken a math class in years and I would have tanked had I not bought this book. It is well written and covered most of the topics that my online College Alegbra class covered.

 "Good Book-Didn't Meet my needs" 2007-07-22
By KJB Family (Texas, USA)
This is a well-written, easy to understand book.

I ordered it as a companion to help me through my Algebra courses via UofPhoenix.

The curriculum didn't quite follow the same pattern as my college course, so I was unable to use the book as a reference.

It's probably best for a jr high/high school level algebra or remedial algebra college course.

Worth looking at if you are needing a review of algebra.

I am very dissappionted for such a poor service received from one of your clients. How can mailing an item in the USA take more than 4wks for it to get to their destination?. If this is how some people want to transact business,then they are better of not doing it at all because some of us really like shopping at amazon and this kind of attitude will drive us away!



thank you very much,
