Summary/Abstract: The first version of this book was published in 2006 in Romanian, but after discussions with Russian speaking teachers I decided to translate it and to enlarge the impact of the knowledge about writing and analyzing the textbooks. The special thanks are for Mrs. L. Petrenco for helping to translate and editing this Russian version and to dr. V. Bezrogov, a colleague from Moscow for very useful observations and suggestions on this book’s content.The various research visits to the Georg Eckert Institute for International Textbook Analysis I have undertaken in recent years within several research projects supported by this institute have inspired me to write an overview of contemporary research literature. The objective of my study was to present the methodology of textbook analysis and to provide interested scholars with a useful tool to develop and further their own research in this flourishing field. The work selectively presents a number of ways, criteria and methods of analysis, supported by historical examples and case studies. I believe that this study could help stimulating the development of a more objective textbook assessment, give an impetus for new analytical studies in the area of textbook analysis and serve as an orientation for would-be textbook authors.
