About this Guide
This guide provides readers with an introduction to creating an entirely new open textbook or adapting an already existing open textbook using Pressbooks software. Readers will also find production tips, accessibility and copyright guidance, and tips on the creation of supplementary materials.
The original B.C. Open Textbook Authoring Guide (archived version) stated that this book is ever evolving. We hope others can reuse parts of our adaptation to produce other institutional authoring guides so this work can continue to evolve.
