may be requested for an additional fee.

Variability in rates depends on the density of the book, the desired density of the index
and the required turnaround time.

For a precise estimate on any indexing project, please call or send a sample of 10 pages
from the middle of the book and an estimate of the total page count. I will provide a
total project estimate the same day.

Light Trade Books average 3-5 entry terms per page. Dense Trade Books average 6-10.

All first-time clients receive a 10% discount. All return clients receive priority and
accommodation on rush jobs.
