Alternatives to Piloting Textbooks.
Muther, Connie
Educational Leadership, v42 n6 p79-83 Mar 1985

Alternative methods for evaluating textbook-based programs include obtaining documented analyses of competitors' products from sales agents, visiting districts using programs being considered, and examining publishers' own field testing reports.
