MIRANDA, Miguel Beas  e  GARCIA, Erika González. SOURCES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A PUBLISHING MAP OF TEXTBOOKS IN SPAIN. Hist. Educ. [online]. 2019, vol.23, e80355.  Epub 07-Mar-2019. ISSN 2236-3459.  https://doi.org/10.1590/2236-3459/80355.

Regardless of the debate over the use or abuse of textbooks and their usefulness as educational resources, their impact on schools is directly related to the market shares of publishers. In Spain, details of the distribution of each text book are not given. Therefore, the aim of this article is to analyze each of the sources from which we can extrapolate some information about this subject. We examine the sources from both agencies and public entities, such as the publishing industry itself, in an area in which more information and transparency is demanded. Among the findings, the analyzed sources provide global data of the publishers, but not of each publisher, nor the concretion by subject nor by educational levels; the declared large and very large companies dominate the market. This study is very useful for those who investigate any field related to textbooks and take into account their figures of commercialization.
