Of the fifty Americanstates, twenty-two have astate textbook-selection committee,agroup of people who look at the books availablefromallpublishersforagivensubjectandthenselectfiveorsix that they "approve." The list is then given to the localselection committee in each county. The county textbookselection committee will normally display the books for afew weeks, giving parents achance to review them. Afterthe committee decides which book to recommend, theschool board votes to purchase that book for use in thecounty schools.
