While I agree with this, I have found the Table of Contents to be invaluable
in finding information in KGT. Usually I'll know if my query lies in ARGOT:
SPECIALIZED VOCABULARY -- WARFARE -- Weaponry: Modern, or LANGUAGE CHANGE AND
STAYING CURRENT -- VOCABULARY: SLANG, or whatever. This limits the number of
pages I have to flip through to find the answer.
In looking at the contents of KGT, I wonder if an index would even have been a
practical thing in such a book. It would have been either too long, or not
detailed enough to find anything.
