[Genealib] Reprinted books without indexes

[espear at shareinet.net]

I guess that I would sum it up with one word - GREED!   The publishers
find an uncopywrited book that they believe that they can make money from.
 Never mind that they could probably make a lot more with a great index. 
So they reproduce it and put it on the market.   One way to stop this is
to refuse to buy any books from these publishers.  This can be effective
especially if you have purchased from these publishers before and they
wonder why you have stopped buying from them.  If enough people did this
the un-indexed reprints would stop.
