Review by the President of the American Society of Indexers,
By Richard T. Evans (Raleigh, NC USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Teach Yourself Indexing for RoboHELP Classic (Spiral-bound)
Bill Meisheid is one of those Renaissance men who is never just a *little* involved in what he's doing. Although he is primarily a RoboHELP trainer and not an indexer, he has delved deeply into not only the general principles of indexing but the specifics of indexing with RoboHELP. His workshops at the annual conference of the American Society of Indexers play to standing room only and he is well known as an informative and energetic presenter.That same informative and energetic style is also apparent in this, his most recent book. He has taken what might otherwise might have been just another dry-as-dust technical dissertation and created something that is not only technically informative, but entertaining to read.
