I've been working for a few years on a proposed book called The Greatest Record Ever Made! (Volume 1). I completed a near-final draft of the book earlier this year, and submitted it to a prospective publisher. And now we wait. I have a good feeling about the project going forward, but nothing's settled as of yet.
If GREM! does succeed in its effort to wish upon a star and become a real book, I've always thought it should include an index. Mind you, an index would provide its own set of problems. For one thing, I'm told that indexing is an expensive process; that warning didn't come from my publisher, but from my daughter, who worked in publishing for several years. An index would also make an already long book--a little under 115,000 words--even longer. Those are potential expenses that may not be appropriate for this book's budget.
And is an index even a good idea here? Do I want to encourage folks to skip around my carefully-organized narrative, ignoring the flow and feel I worked so hard to create, just so they can see where I mention Car 54, Where Are You?, or Jane Birkin, or Etta James?
I think it's worth it. We'll see if it can happen.
Here's a list of items a GREM! index could include. Some of these are casual passing mentions, some are more substantive, but they are all in the book in some way. There are a number of additional people that I should consider adding (especially from the songwriting and production credits for the individual tracks), and probably a few I should consider removing from the index.
But it's a start. An infinite number of tracks can each be THE greatest record ever made, as long as they take turns. The infinite awaits.
