Mike, I'm certainly not blaming you! > I've been lobbying Apress to release the book in electronic form for free. > It's currently under consideration, but I've not heard anything back yet. Well, since I've purchased both the dead tree and digital versions, that won't help me. I wrote my book in LaTeX (using the LyX GUI front end which is highly productive), and used the indexing feature to create the index. Before doing so, I researched how to write an index, bought a book on the subject, and read that before starting. It did take me several iterations before I was satisfied, and I'm sure there are still deficiencies I did not catch. Putting out a supplemental index would be a very useful effort. Rich -- Richard B.
