| Summary: | The article presents various opinions concerning consolidation among textbook publishers and its possible implications to college textbook authors. Alden H. Clark, who is involved with textbook publishing, explains how growth in consolidation places textbook authors into a more favorable position. While Thomas M. Schmid, from the Association of American University Presses, firmly believes that there is no clear trend that university presses will enter the textbook market. Moreover, Sanford Cohen from Butler University states his fear not only for textbook writers but for the writers in general if only few publishing firms will dominate the textbook market in United States.
