Title: A very disappointing book
Review: Sorry dear readers, but this book is poorly written, shallow in its treatment of the subject, and often factually inaccurate.The mostly bullet-point and numbered-list style does not lend itself to sufficient examples and explanations, and the grammar errors will absolutely drive you to distraction if you're a good writer.Here's a sample of some of Bonura's tangled writing from page 78: "While 'see' references are usually italicized when used in indexes, the only time they are usually not italicized is when used in a cross-reference that is also italicized." Got that?If you only buy one book on this subject, choose from among these three: (1) Nancy Mulvany's "Indexing Books," (2) Hans Wellisch's "Indexing from A to Z," or (3) the chapter on indexes from "The Chicago Manual of Style." All three are available from Amazon.com.
