Have you always dreamed of being able to say you make your living creating knowledge? This is the work of a textbook writer. However, as enjoyable as it may sound, writing a textbook is not as easy as one might think.

Moreover, when a textbook is finally published, disappointing sales are a not-uncommon occurrence. Â
