Project Q Publishing @projectqpub.com · Mar 7 Indexing books is difficult and not something the Project Q team had done much of before. So we turned to a couple of great books: new-wave "Book Indexing" by Stephen Ullstrom and old-school "Indexing, the Art Of" by G. Norman Knight. Love them both. @stephenullstrom.bsky.social #IndexSky

Ullstrom's advice for how-to books: base the index on the table of contents. Programming books are how-to (and ours lean heavily on the why? too). Therefore, our indexes start life as an alphabetical table of contents. It's crude, but want to build something? Look up "Building ..." in the index.
