Handbook of Indexing Techniques : A Guide for Beginning Indexers

This handbook on indexing techniques is intended for three groups of people: * occasional indexers, such as authors and technical writers, who may be called upon to index their own books; * anyone interested in becoming a professional indexer who is looking for concrete examples or techniques for learning how to index; * librarians who need a review of indexing techniques.
