Only a few pages each to do the job! Will you direct volunteers to take discrete sections and thereby avoid duplicated effort? I'll do a few if you let me know which pages.
Not so much
section- but
Index-directed, methinks!
I.e., the primary check & change is on what
IS there, in the Index;
and the simple task is to verify that (implicit in the looking), and to convert
the
page reference into an
image-# reference.
The harder part, but one we should accept as information arises in even
haphazard use of the book, is to supplement the Index with any missed
citations, such as they're found. But a rigorous check of this, which to my
mind entails deliberate reading straight through the text and repeatedly
checking whether index-able items are in fact indexed, isn't something
I'm proposing here. But, why not accept any such suggestions as they
arise; the goal being a more useful Index, not caring to clinging to just
its historical state (which in any case is preserved in numerous copies).
(Actually, having a #-based Index should help with any effort to improve
the overall citations, as some citation for "p.173" might become equated
to "#nnn4, #nnn5" and later be enlarged to cite also #nnn9: if one had
only a page reference, finding the information in one spot might stop
one from looking further; but with particular image-#s, any information
elsewhere will stand out in need of similar citation.)
So, to commence, either of you two (et al.) can just post a notice here
"I'm starting with 'A' ", and the next reviewer can volunteer for another
letter (Index "section"). (wow, "B" is a whopper!) Completed lists for
each letter can be posted here for others to verify (and maybe expand).
