Anthony Haynes' "Writing Successful Textbooks" is a much needed discourse on writing exposition for an audience of learners, especially students enrolled in college courses, from the perspective of an acquisitions editor in textbook publishing. Haynes links his suggestions and cautionary advice to models of learning theory and pedagogical frameworks as well as to best practices and realities in the textbook publishing industry today. This title is a practical, highly readable, serviceable guide for textbook authors.

Although this focuses on textbook writers, it's also useful for editors, or anybody who needs to structure text so that people learn from it.
