I just wanted to share this very illuminating article about textbooks from an editor who seems to know what she is talking about. You know, I always thought textbooks were a bit stupid, and now I know why. It's a long read but very worth it if you care. Even the relatively good quality math books I have have errors and problems that make no sense. It just goes to show, a good book is rarely written by committee.
