2013 award for excellence in indexing

The American Society for Indexing has awarded the 2013 H.W. Wilson Award to a long-time friend and colleague, Kate Mertes.

Kate’s winning index is to Montesquieu’s My Thoughts (Mes Pensées) , published by the Liberty Fund. The Wilson Award Committee has also commended the publisher for enhancing the usability of Kate’s complex index with an elegant design and layout. I cannot wait to see it!

Until his death in 1755, Montesquieu maintained notebooks in which he wrote ideas on a wide variety of topics. Montesquieu called these notebooks, Mes Pensées. They appear in English for the first time in this edition.
