Textbooks are tools of the trade for many groups, for example students, teachers and researchers. Many people may have the knowledge and ability to write a textbook, but the time consuming mechanics of the whole process deters them. The aim of this book is to take the pain out of the process. It takes the reader step-by-step from the initial shaping of the idea to a detailed plan of the manuscript and a full book proposal, all based around the reader's own particular area of expertise.
