Along with printing and
binding, indexing is a main manufaturing process for Bible and
dictionary publishing. Precisely indexed attractive book provides
a convenient mechanism for readers to find phrases with greater
ease. |

Among
all existing indexing methods, the Thumb Indexing is considered
as the most sophisticated method. It exposes tabs through evenly
spaced, punched semicircular grooves along the side of the book. |

means of finding different phrases or chapters with ease should
implement Thumb Indexing. However, due to an expensive cost

not employed on all books. Thus, most publishing companies selectively
implement the procedure on limited edintions only.
