Abstract: We must get beyond textbooks, go out into the bypaths…and tell the world the glories of our journey (John Hope Franklin). Although most college professors would embrace the principle of this quotation, the reality of our profession is that we must begin with textbooks and thereby inspire our students on their journeys as life long learners to tell the world the glories of their journeys of learning. This brings us to a pivotal question: How do we select textbooks that meet the needs of both instructors and students and fulfill the goals of pulling the students out into the world as life long learners? The following paper proposes a technique of fine-tuning the textbook selection process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
