I saw the thread title and thought I could help, but not on a two or three year publication cycle. That's ridiculous; your powers that be have fallen for publishing industry propaganda, and that's a real shame for affordability of learning. And publishers can't even deliver on that cycle for some subjects - I'm not aware of any stagecraft texts on a 2/3 year cycle. What kind of institution are you at? Maybe we can help you with a strategy for explaining why you need a longer cycle. For instance, you could ask publishers what they can offer every 2/3 years. They'll come up empty in this subject area.
It's a community college, the state mandates that when we update our course descriptions we reference recent texts. Very annoying for a field as specialized as ours.
