Professional indexers make good books even better. Many magazines, newspapers and organisations are currently publishing their 2017 Books of the Year lists, including Evening Standard, The Guardian, History Today, New Statesman, The Spectator, The Telegraph, The Times and TLS. We are pleased to note that several of these books have indexes created by members of the Society of Indexers. Well done to our members Marian Aird, Paula Clarke Bain, Wendy Baskett, Rohan Bolton, Rosemary Dear, Ruth Ellis, Susan Farr, Auriol Griffith-Jones, Jane Horton, Ann Hudson, Caroline Jones, Nicola Nicholas, Christopher Phipps, Alan Rutter, Christine Shuttleworth and Caroline Wilding for their indexing work on these books.
