Summary: If you love indexing...
Comment: We are all familiar with the book index. Located at the end of a paper volume, it contains an alphabetical listing of subjects covered. You can use it to quickly locate information on a topic of particular interest at a given moment. Professional indexers have been creating these lists for many years. However, the publishing industry has undergone rapid changes lately. Automation led to computerized layout and desktop publishing as well as fully online publishing. Indexers have moved into these new areas with confidence and have developed a variety of new skills. If you are an indexer unsure about how to move into the future, or a budding indexer just getting started in the field, "Beyond book indexing" is a good introduction to the topics listed in its subtitle: embedded indexing, web indexing, and other computer media.

Of course, the book includes an excellent index by Janet Perlman. I believe this is the first time I have seen an author given specific credit for an index in a book! A glossary of terms is also provided. Chapters include references and/or a list of relevant web sites for further information. I recommend "Beyond book indexing" for experienced indexers who want to keep up with current trends or find work in new areas of indexing. Beginners may find the book to be a bit overwhelming; the focus is on teaching new skills to the professional rather than explaining the basics of indexing.
