Crack indexing
Progress round here, of an archeological sort (I have not used thousands of index cards, I have just gone crazy with the post-it notes - the colors in this case have no significance, it was just that I needed a large number of 'em!): it's all loosely alphabetized, and now I'll start going through letter by letter and typing everything up into a coherent index...

How exactly does one index a book? I've always assumed my idea of how it's done must be correct but it seems like a daunting task and these photographs seem to confirm it just IS a daunting task. GOOD LUCK!
ReplyDelete(The first photograph reminds me of a school project in a very pleasant kind of way, the colors, the craziness.)
This would make a great desktop pattern!

ReplyDeleteNot that your method doesn't look amazing (and, despite the eye-popping aspect, presumably functional), but maybe you need this?
ReplyDeleteAs a lover of indexes, I've always thought that I'd enjoy making one. But you're forcing me to reconsider.
how delicious!!
ReplyDeleteit just occurred to me--indexing must be a lot like tagging. . . just maybe not so fun?
ReplyDeleteInteresting post as for me. I'd like to read a bit more concerning this topic. Thanx for posting that data.
