student textbooks

Educational course materials

Student textbooks are books designed for educational use in courses of study, typically assigned by instructors and purchased or rented by students.

The term emphasizes both the intended audience and the characteristic features: structured chapters, review questions, and pedagogical apparatus.

The cost of student textbooks has risen faster than inflation for decades.
