Since 1994, Nancy Mulvany's "Indexing Books" has been the gold
standard for thousands of professional indexers, editors, and
authors. This long-awaited second edition, expanded and completely
updated, will be equally revered.
Like its predecessor, this edition of "Indexing Books" offers
comprehensive, reliable treatment of indexing principles and
practices relevant to authors and indexers alike. In addition to
practical advice, the book presents a big-picture perspective on
the nature and purpose of indexes and their role in published
works. New to this edition are discussions of "information
overload" and the role of the index, open-system versus
closed-system indexing, electronic submission and display of
indexes, and trends in software development, among other
topics.
Mulvany is equally comfortable focusing on the nuts and bolts of
indexing--how to determine what is indexable, how to decide the
depth of an index, and how to work with publisher instructions--and
broadly surveying important sources of indexing guidelines such as
"The ""Chicago Manual of Style," Sun Microsystems, Oxford
University Press, "NISO TR03," and "ISO 999," Authors will
appreciate Mulvany's in-depth consideration of the costs and
benefits of preparing one's own index versus hiring a professional,
while professional indexers will value Mulvany's insights into
computer-aided indexing. Helpful appendixes include resources for
indexers, a worksheet for general index specifications, and a
bibliography of sources to consult for further information on a
range of topics.
"Indexing Books "is both a practical guide and a manifesto about
the vital role of the human-crafted index in the Information Age.
As thestandard indexing reference, it belongs on the shelves of
everyone involved in writing and publishing nonfiction books.
