Accommodating many substantial changes in rules and standards pertaining to
indexes and indexing since its first edition in 1991, Indexing from A to Z, 2nd Edition
will be invaluable to any professional.
An improved selection of topics
shows practical examples of correct and incorrect indexing. The latest national and
international standards and recommended practices are always cited, as well as references
to the professional literature in an extensive bibliography. Tables and figures address
such matters as the number of index lines on a page for different type and page sizes, a
comparison of indexing time using cards versus a computer, proof correction marks,
indexing typography, etc.
