Overheard in a textbook publishing house: "The books are done and we still don't have an author! I must sign someone today!" Doesn't that just give you confidence? This article looks at the 'blanding' and streamlining of thextbook production - from the consolidation that resulted in many textbook publishing companies becoming four to the censorship and self-censorship practiced based on rumour and innuendo (and why Isaac Asimov was revoved from the reading list). Good read.
