Some people just want to make the world a little better

Take Laura Dodd, for example.  “This book was lacking an index, so I prepared one for practice,” says Laura.  She did it pro bono.  You can download it for free here.

The author, Amy Stewart, explains, “There was some kind of glitch in the book production system … The index never got ordered. By the time I realized that there was no index forthcoming, it was too late to do anything about it. And there was no way to add it later without having to repaginate the book and possibly raise the price … But then something extraordinary happened.  A professional indexer walked into my bookstore one day and handed me a complete, extremely detailed, beautifully formatted index.”

Amy Stewart’s Wicked Plants: The Weed That Killed Lincoln’s Mother and Other Botanical Atrocities is available at Amazon.
