An index is an investment:
- An index adds value to a book; it becomes a research tool which is useful to readers.
- An index will make a book accessible: it anticipates the needs of readers, ensuring that they will find what they are looking for and it will enable them to explore other themes.
- At a glance an index allows for a brief overview of the content to encourage readers to buy the book.
- A professionally prepared index will enhance the use and value of a book.
