That is what I mean...they don't need to be "perfect". They just have to be there. They are not that difficult to dicto decipher. Trust me, all of my psych books have them and I use them. *L* The info just needs to be there. It would be a waste of time and energy to get them nicely lined-up...at least in my case. *G*

Tables, however, are difficult to do. They have to be rewritten in non-table form. In the books I've done, the only tables I've seen have been in the text, and if they are informative and not just illustrative of the text, I do make them readable. Otherwise I note that they are graphs or simply illustrate what's in the text. And maybe I haven't always validated appendices--I can't remember now. But my point is that I think the indices and bibliographies are usable as they are, trying to put myself in the place of those of you who are blind. The The information is all there, just not in separate lines, though sometimes in bibliographies I do separate the entries. It seems to me that if one is using Braille or listening to a book, the information is usable as it is. It's even usable to someone sighted, though not as easily as when it's properly spaced and on separate lines. Some scanners, though, have taken the time to make them perfect.

Many times, authors will place important tables, explanations, divisions, etc. in those appendices. The bibliographies are good sources for further research.
