Am I right in thinking that "Schulbuch" is restricted to textbooks for school (and maybe for university?), and you'd have to use "Lehrbuch" or something else for e.g. a textbook aimed at professionals?

@Pont: "Schulbuch" would not be used for books used in unversity teaching. "Lehrbuch" might be possible there, but at least in the part of German academia I got in touch with, a "text book" was actually a pretty rare occurrence to have any role in any class, so I never came across a commonly used, set term for it.
