Unfortunately, this is especially true of the braille versions of earlier books where the braille translator took out the original print page numbers and replaced them with its own page numbers reflecting shorter braille pages. So those page numbers had absolutely nothing to do with the originals.

Putting Do Not Eat warnings on inedible objects is simply redundant. Knowing what an author thinks is important is not.Evan----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Hill" <hillco@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, March 31, 2008 9:46 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] indexes?May be a stupid question, but why does one need an index when any decent computer has a search function? Sure, it may be nice to know what the author felt was important enough to put in an index, but that seems about as important as the do not eat warnings printed all over inedible objects. I've tried to include indexes when I scan just because I figured if nobody wanted it they could remove it, but the whole practice seems rather pointless.
