Abstract
A group of publishers with international experience of producing geography textbooks outline their views on this particular form of educational resource. Among the issues discussed are the role of textbooks, methods of production, international differences in courses and readership, impact of current changes within the discipline and the higher education system, and emerging technologies that might lead to alternatives to textbooks in the near future.Keywords
