Reviews"This book is an excellent resource. It is clearly written and well laid out, with good cross-referencing between chapters and a multitude of illustrative examples. [...] it should be read be anyone thinking about taking up indexing, and also by editors, especially those who think that an index is an extravagant luxury!" (Information World Review, London, Dec. 2001) "I would thoroughly recommend this book to trainees and indexers alike. It is a worthy addition to any reference colletion." (Copyright, London, Nov./Dec. 2003)
