To maximize the usability of a nonfiction title, readers, book buyers, librarians, and reviewers will expect you to include an index in your book. Having a properly formatted index in your book could potentially be used as a selling point.
- Book buyers, librarians, researchers, and academics often buy books based on the detail and functionality of the index.
- Reviewers will recommend a book with a good index and will review badly those books that contain a poorly constructed index or have no index at all.
- Many librarians will not purchase a book without an index.
Computer-Generated Keyword Index (Concordance)
- A computer-generated keyword index lists a page number for a key term each time it occurs in the book.
Please note: a concordance-type index has no logical organization other than alphabetization, and only exact word matches can be indexed using the approach.
