The Indexer: The International Journal of Indexing
Size does matter: fitting the index to the pages
Abstract
Ensuring that our index is the correct length for a print book is a basic quality standard. To gauge an appropriate depth of indexing given the space available, indexers need to know how to calculate the pages available in a book and how to measure the length of their final index. And to do that it doesn’t hurt to know a bit about today’s printing processes.
