Reviews for Indexing Books
"The virtues and excitement of indexing (yes!) come through loud and clear." - Hazel K. Bell, Logos "Mulvany's book contains a complete course on book indexing. Every point discussed is illustrated from published indexes and/or ad hoc examples. Many perplexing points are given detailed treatment for which one may search in vain elsewhere." - Mary Piggott, The Indexer"
