Abstract. Textbooks play important roles in learning process. They function as references to gain knowledge and to find answers of questions given by teachers. However, not all textbooks have good quality. Some textbooks do not have complete explanation and appropriate language use.

Besides, information is also obtained from mathematics teachers in Lumajang. Some instruments used in this research are table consisting of questions about the content of Teacher Book and questionnaire. Procedures of collecting data are content analysis and documentation.
