About This Book

The author surveys the development of educational publishing in the United States from colonial schoolbooks to modern textbooks, tracing changes in content, production, and distribution. The account highlights early primers, arithmetic and geography texts, notable spellers and readers, and the publishers who produced them, while describing advances in bookmaking, illustration, and classroom materials. It situates these changes alongside broader technological and pedagogical progress, critiques the fragmented nature of existing accounts, and calls for a thorough, scholarly compilation of the nation’s educational-publishing history.
