Book Description
A New York Times Editors' Choice Book Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2022 by Literary Hub and Goodreads A playful history of the humble index and its outsized effect on our reading lives. Most of us give little thought to the back of the book—it’s just where you go to look things up. But as Dennis Duncan reveals in this delightful and witty history, hiding in plain sight is an unlikely realm of ambition and obsession, sparring and politicking, pleasure and play. In the pages of the index, we might find Butchers, to be avoided, or Cows that sh-te Fire, or even catch Calvin in his chamber with a Nonne. Here, for the first time, is the secret world of the index: an unsung but extraordinary everyday tool, with an illustrious but little-known past. Charting its curious path from the monasteries and universities of thirteenth-century Europe to Silicon Valley in the twenty-first, Duncan uncovers how it has saved heretics from the stake, kept politicians from high office, and made us all into the readers we are today. We follow it through German print shops and Enlightenment coffee houses, novelists’ living rooms and university laboratories, encountering emperors and popes, philosophers and prime ministers, poets, librarians and—of course—indexers along the way. Revealing its vast role in our evolving literary and intellectual culture, Duncan shows that, for all our anxieties about the Age of Search, we are all index-rakers at heart—and we have been for eight hundred years.

Book Description
Excerpt from Technical Book Review Index, Vol. 4: Issued by the Technology Department of the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh; March 1920 Each quotation immediately follows the name of the journal from which it is taken. Obviously these brief extracts, thus detached from the context, must not be accepted as conclusive. Very often a review is so equivocal that there can be no unanimity of opinion as to whether it is favorable or unfavorable. For this reason no estimate is given here. Except for this one omission, this index is an exact copy of cards filed in the book review index of the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh.
