I found the following textbook reviews on the Mathematically Correct website. While somewhat dated, I think the information included is instructive. All summary ratings are on a 5-point scale where 5 is excellent and 1 is unsatisfactory, and letter grades range from A to F. More detailed information is available at: http://mathematicallycorrect.com/books.htm
