We select textbooks on a three-year cycle; once picked, it's locked in. When the time comes, the Chair appoints a committee of three or four faculty members who've taught the course recently or are otherwise interested, and they look over possible texts. Unfortunately, the text for 437 was chosen just last year, so it'll be a while before we can change. (We could ask to make an emergency change, but the administration frowns on that...)
