[Genealib] Speaking of book indexes...

[Barbara Hill]

Is anyone on the GENEALIB list from Genealogical Publishing Company?

GPC recently published three books of Eastern, Central, and Western 
Tennessee's "forgotten children" - apprenticed orphans from all the 
county records.  I forget in which order they were published, but 
they are indexed.  The first two have normal indexes, but the index 
to the third one makes no sense - children are listed on page numbers 
which exceed the number of pages in the book.  I think something went 
wrong with the indexing process.  How can a publisher correct 
something like that?  It would be too costly to reprint the entire 
book and replace all those that have been sold so far.  GPC recently 
stopped offering library discounts, so I'd guess they are hurting too.
