[CALIBK12] Textbook adoption review form

[kznadalin]

Yesterday  I posted a link asking for feedback on an assessment form I cobbled together, but I realized it might be better to just include the criteria I cobbled together right in an email.  I would like to know if anyone can think of something I've missed OR has some simple form or check sheet that they would be willing to share.  Shown below is what I came up with so far.
Thanks,
Karen
