This book covers all aspects of whole document indexing of books, serial publications, images and sound materials. The book gives the purpose and principles of indexing, and covers areas such as managing the work, technology and other subject specialisms. The manual takes the reader through the basic principles of indexing on to expert approaches, and thereforce has a broad appeal for both indexers and prospective indexers whether they work freelance or in-house.

Industry 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)
