Summary

Simba Information is presenting its exclusive textbook adoption scorecard and best-selling textbook index for 2007 in an inaugural single handy reference edition.
2007 is the start of a multi-year upswing in textbook adoption opportunity, which over the next several years is projected to account for well over half of all new textbook sales.
Success in textbook adoptions potentially creates traction for publishers in non-adoption states, or open territories, and spawns opportunities for publishers of supplementary materials in ensuing years.
Prepared by the analysts at Simba Information, the 2007 National Textbook Adoption Scorecard and 2008 Outlook covers sales results in specific states, including California, Florida and Texas, and provides guidance for opportunities to come.

Topics include:

Results from individual states
Results in major disciplines
Results by grade segments
Scorecard of results by publisher
Index of top-selling K-8 textbooks
Performance trends of electronic products
Outlook for key adoption opportunities in 2008
