Why doesn’t SitePoint include indexes in their books. They are the only IT publisher I know of that excludes these. Whether it’s printed, an eBook, or online for us Premium user’s. It make it extremely difficult to use as reference material.

Thanks for your feedback, @magnus_lash. Earlier in SitePoint’s history when printed books made up a much larger part of our market, we did include indexes in our books. However indexing is a manual and very time-consuming job, which generally requires the use of a professional indexer. Without significant customer demand it’s a cost that we could no longer justify as a small publisher. We are investigating options that may allow us to bring back indexes in future.
