Just the usual: not written by an indexer, no mention of ASI, the Chicago Manual was the only "real" indexing book mentioned in the reference list, the examples were stylistically horrifying, new terminology was invented to refer to old things, etc., etc. I knew there was a reason I didn't renew my membership! --Ira Kleinberg kleinberg@zodiac.rutgers.edu =========================================================================
