The Book Author Index follows, with each entry containing the title, subtitle, volume number, and publisher name, followed by a cross-reference number to the full bibliographic entry in the Book Title Index. The Publisher Name Index comes next, with complete bibliographic information for each company, including: company name, ISBN prefix(es), business affiliation, ordering and/or editorial address(es), Standard Address Number(s), imprint(s), and contact information.
