Norman Knight is the definitive guide to mastering that craft. Written by a distinguished Barrister-at-Law and Late President of the Society of Indexers, this authoritative volume instructs both novice and seasoned professionals in the precise techniques required to construct clear, comprehensive, and useful indexes for books and periodicals alike.\n\nKnight presents the discipline of indexing not as a mechanical afterthought but as a rigorous intellectual art, demanding analytical thinking, linguistic sensitivity, and meticulous attention to detail. Published by the esteemed London house of George Allen \u0026amp; Unwin, this work carries a Foreword by the Rt Hon. Harold Macmillan, lending it a gravity that underscores its importance to the world of publishing and scholarship. As the book's own epigraph warns, Without a key we search and search in vain, But a good index is a monstrous gain — a truth that will resonate with anyone who has ever been lost in an uncharted volume.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203118735579,"sku":"2026200013866-SECONDHAND","price":200.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/3df50644-b590-4ed7-9941-e79243720758.png?v=1788144444","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200013866-secondhand-indexing-the-art-of-a-guide-to-the-indexing-of-books-and-periodicals","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
