Fairly Priced Textbooks

The digital revolution has revolutionized the way information is distributed and consumed. Anyone can be a publisher! Yet, academic textbook publishing is stuck in the 20th century. Students are forced to pay high prices for textbooks. Not here! Textbooks at textbook consortia are set at a price point students can afford.

Fairly Compensated Authors

Publishing houses used to help authors publish their work by obtaining copyrights, creating art, typesetting, indexing, making glossaries, and editing. For that, they would take 80-90% of the profits. The world has shifted and authors do much of this work. Yet, publishing houses still want 90 to 95% of the revenue from book sales. Why? More than 70% of the revenue for textbooks at textbook consortia go to the authors.

Taking Advantage of Digital Media

Textbooks at Textbook Consortia leverage the power of multimedia to provide useful educational experiences. Simple diagrams, animations, links to outside information, a popup glossary, and a search function make using the textbook easy.

No Publishing Cycle and No AI

Because these textbooks live on the web, if the author wants to update or add new information, they simply log on and do it. There are no barriers or processes to stop them. As long as the authors have the time and motivation, they can provide their readers with the most up-to-date information. Also, none of the pages on this site were written by AI. Real authors who care about the content wrote them. No AI slop here!
