A good index is a mark of a serious book: written to generally accepted indexing standards, it performs flawlessly. A reader will find what he/she is looking for and
doesn't give the index a second thought.

If on the other hand, the index is poorly written, the reader becomes frustrated and
will very likely move on the the next book. Worse still, a non-fiction book published
without an index is not likely to be taken seriously by readers, reviewers or librarians.

That is why most authors use a professional indexer to write indexes for their non-
fiction books.
