WHY YOUR BOOK NEEDS AN INDEX
Many readers count on finding an index in the books they read. The presence or lack of a proper index in a book may even be a factor in decision to purchase a book. I know I have frequently put books back on the shelf if they don’t have an index.
A well‐prepared index can greatly enhance a book’s usefulness to readers and researchers. An index should be considerably more than an outline or an expanded table of contents and considerably less than a concordance of words and phrases. A good index records every pertinent statement made within the body of the text.
