Advancement in science and technology, and other emerging trends in the world are resulted in curriculum reforms. These reforms have resulted not only on the contents of the textbooks but also on its presentation. The core source of learning which has always been popular internationally is the textbook. The major concern relative to the textbook is the quality of its content and the quality of its presentation. In many countries, as also in Pakistan, textbooks are developed in the light of national curriculum after which they are submitted to an evaluation process to ensure their quality. This study identifies indicators for quality textbooks from literature and good practices employed internationally. Considering textbook as a product, Garvin’s (1988) framework for quality products was used as base for identification of the indicators. The indicators identified were validated through experts’ opinions. Delphi technique was employed to reach a consensus on indicators of quality textbooks. The study suggests that the quality of textbook in Pakistan could be ensured by fulfilling the compliance conditions for each of the identified eleven indicators.
