Far better than I could have done

Index Busters worked on a complex textbook for me and produced an index that was far better than anything I could have accomplished on my own. The process was professional and done in a timely way at a reasonable cost. I would absolutely use them again.

Excellent indexers

I contacted Indexbusters when my indexer backed out at the last minute. They were incredibly gracious, professional, and accommodating of my timeline. The indexing was impeccable. I cannot speak highly enough of this company, and I hope to work with them again in the future.

Excellent Indexing Partner

I really appreciate Indexbusters responsiveness, professionalism, pricing, and quality. With thanks to Balsa for making this part of the publishing process easy and efficient, and for finishing the Index professionally and by the date it was promised. Reliability is much appreciated, and we will use you again.

Index Busters did a great job with my book index. They were responsive, quick, and reasonably priced. I noticed I made a substantial error in my book that required some index changes. Once I provided them with my updated proof, they were able to address things thoroughly, even within the original deadline. Thanks!

We had a big project on a tight timeline. Then we had to plop in several mid-process changes. IndexBusters handled it all with grace and professionalism -- and the editors are more than pleased with their work.

Quality content, responsive and timely turnaround

Balsa was a great rep — responsive, clear, and patient with me and my client (index newbies) when we didn't understand certain aspects of the process. Our project wasn't an easy one. It was a 600-page academic memoir with lots of names, places, ideas, themes and projects to be organized and prioritized, and Indexbusters did a thorough and timely job in making our book more accessible for readers.

Index Busters did a fantastic job in organizing and highlighting the essential topic matter of a particularly complex and highly integrated technical text. Their objectivity and freshness to the subject was essential, but they also zeroed in the essential content in way that thoroughly demonstrated their grasp of the content and proficiency in accomplishing an amazing index product that adds great value to the work.

Review of Index Busters: they asre great

First, I had to contact them last minute (for most good indexers it's 3 months out, 2 if you're lucky). They were able to get it done in 2 weeks.
They are mid-range in price (I have lots of experience with this, mostly bad). Charged $650 for 250 indexable pages.
Most important, the work was EXCELLENT, it scrupulously followed the model I sent. It was so good U of Wales P sent me an e-mail asking me to congratulate them. Unheard of.

I am delighted in every possible way with the index Indexbusters supplied to me. First, they said 2 1/2 weeks. It took 2 1/2 weeks. The price was very fair. They communicated swiftly—none of this waiting and wondering if they got an email. The index itself is awesome.

I wish all parts of publishing a book were as satisfactory as my encounter with Indexbusters.

Book Indexing by Lisa of Index Busters

Lisa of Index Busters built an index for my medical education manual which had numerous indexable terms. The manual title was, "The 10-Minute Physical Exam; recognizing medical syndromes", and was 175 pages. Her communication was prompt, cheerful, polite and professional. She was clear about turnaround time, which turned out to be quick. The index was much to my satisfaction. I requested a few additions, and she updated the index on the same day without extra charge. The cost for this service was very reasonable.

Great Work

Indexbusters did a truly wonderful job on my demanding book - highly professional and reliable. I was impressed how well the index reflects the main threads of my book. It was obvious that David read my work thoroughly and put a lot of thought into the index.

Quality work delivered on time

Quality work delivered on time

I chose IndexBusters because their service is not just a word scan of my manuscript. They read the text to produce a quality index. Pricing is very fair, the work was delivered ahead of schedule, and was very high quality. I'll certainly look to them for my future index needs.

A great indexing service...

Indexbusters did a stellar job indexing my book. They did a very thorough job of referencing both the abstract concepts and the more concrete topics. They did it all quickly, especially for a 400+ page book, and when I suggested a couple of additions to add they did those right away. All in all, a wonderful experience. I will use them again for my next books. I highly recommend Index busters, but only if you're looking for fast indexing, expertly done. :-)

Would definitely recommend

Would definitely recommend indexbusters. I write as the editor of a collection of literary/historical essays for an academic press - the deadline for turnaround of page proofs and production of the index was tight, but David delivered by our agreed date. The index produced was comprehensive, high quality, and to Press specifications. I have no hesitation in recommending, whatever your project.
