This document summarizes the key issues around the rising cost of textbooks and open textbooks as an alternative. It notes that textbook prices have increased 812% since 1978 while students' financial aid and earnings have not kept pace, forcing many to not purchase required textbooks. Open textbooks can help address this by providing free, high-quality textbooks under open licenses. Several studies have found open textbooks lead to equal or better learning outcomes compared to traditional textbooks, while saving students thousands of dollars. The document advocates for increasing awareness and adoption of open textbooks to improve access and affordability of higher education.
