from the Authors and Editors:
A classmate in college did indexing on the side. I remembering her mentioning how she could always tell when an author did the index instead of a professional. I finally understand now what she was talking about when reviewing your index. Thank you. It’s marvelous.--Trevor Bond What a detailed job you've done! It's beyond anything I could have ever accomplished....Let me give you a standing ovation....My head's swimming from all the details. You have to possess the greatest attention to detail of anyone east of the Mississippi!--Allen Ottens Eileen Allen did the index and she was wonderful! It was a real pleasure working with her. She really understood the book, and suggested very accurate entries. She was professional, quick and very responsive to any questions I had.--Ilana Szobel A magnificent index, many many thanks.--Larry Holmes MANY THANKS for your wonderful work! What you have accomplished is of immense value to the overall final standing of the book.--Joseph Banowetz I wish to thank you once again for the excellent index you prepared. It really caps off a book that took countless hours of labor.--John Pier Thanks so much for your excellent work on this project! It has been a pleasure.--Meg Devlin O'Sullivan It was a pleasure working with you. You have done a great job.--Dan Ben-Amos I am so impressed with the way you've parceled things out conceptually! I can see all of the analysis and artistry involved! --Brooke Rollins FYI, Eileen Allen... did a wonderful job with the index. I would highly recommend her as well, especially for theory projects. I was so impressed with the way she found and described important concepts from the book. --Brooke Rollins Thank you so much for a wonderfully thorough index!--Catherine Sameh Once again, many thanks for this beautiful index. I really like the way you pulled both concrete and conceptual information from the MS. --Judah Cohen Thank you for your incredible work... I had never paid attention to how much work indexing takes or how much into the heart of the work you have to go to capture it and distill it as a searchable index.--Ather Zia We were very impressed by your timely and diligent work in creating a detailed and comprehensive index that will be greatly useful for readers of our book.--Arnaud Kurze Thank you so much for your great work. The index is admirable - very comprehensive and very wisely organized. I very much like how you created meaningful subject areas in order to make the content accessible. I also like the fact that you included important concepts and the pages where I define them - I think that this will be really helpful for readers.--Nadine Amsler Your Dyl index is superb!--Julie Van Pelt (UW Press) I'm really happy with how it [the index] turned out - thanks for being so willing to work with me on perfecting it!--Joanna Dyl Eileen Allen ... has worked with me on both copyediting and indexing projects for IUP, and I recommend her highly. She has comprehensive knowledge of Chicago style and is meticulous in applying it. As a copyeditor, she can simultaneously tend to mechanical details and the broader narrative needs of a manuscript. In addition, I’m impressed by her skill as an indexer, especially her ability to make sense of complicated text while still managing its granular elements.--David Miller (IU Press) Indeed, Sid and I wanted to be sure to use this e-mail as an opportunity to extend our deep and sincere gratitude for the fabulous job you did copy-editing this volume. I have worked with a number of different copy-editors, and I feel comfortable saying this has been one of the best and most rewarding set of copy-edits to work through. Your attention to detail is very commendable, and across the board I believe each chapter has been made better by your small but important suggestions. The book feels even more whole than it did several months ago, so thank you!—James Gilmore I found you to be a conscientious, thoughtful indexer who gave the book a close reading and developed an index that not only assists readers but reflects the larger argument of the book. And, . . . you're prompt, efficient, and easy to work with. . . . I'm definitely glad I didn't attempt this myself—Alex Stefaniak Oh gosh the index looks really great. . . the time I spent with it during the past week gave me a lot of confidence in its strengths. . . . Again, many thanks for your work, Eileen. I really appreciate this opportunity to work with you.--Agatha Beins Thanks so much for your help with this and for making it a semi-collaborative effort! . . . I'll definitely have you in mind when it comes to indexing [my next] book.—Arnie Cox Thank you again for your help and superb service!—Andreas Kuehn It is a pleasure always to refer your name to all colleagues and I think they will be lucky to get your excellent service.—Eid Mohamed I think it's perfect! Thanks for adding such a professional touch to my first book.—Nicholas Roberts Great! It looks a lot better than what I would have done!!--Sydney Hutchinson |
