After 'Surgical Reading'[1] I started loving book indexes. They're like Code Surfing on paper. One of the most thoroughly organized books I know, I've bought today: "A Table for Friends: The Art of Cooking for Two or Twenty". It has 3 indexes in the back (by season, by time, by alphabet). It uses left margins and page color for grouping by method (no cooking, on stove, in oven), and right margins for grouping by course. It is so rigorously organized. Almost a shame I'll never read it all. But that's the cost of really understanding the contents: cooking, eating, and repeating to get better at the same. Looking at words is auxiliary to living.
