A really entertaining anthology of short writings about what the title says: real indexes with humour, fictional indexes and indexers. I enjoyed it so much more than I expected to and now want to read many of the books it refers to, particularly Nabokov's Pale Fire. Good pre-bed reading as it all comes in small bite-sized chunks. I had to struggle to stop myself reading it too quickly.
