I have found that my best indexer is me. I hired a pro for our first book, Social Structures, and she did such a bad job, that I did it over again myself. I have done my/our 3 subsequent books myself. Including Networked (check it yourself) I found it takes a day. A big screen helps (I have 27"). I go thru the book and identify indexicable items. And keep many pages up on the same big screen. (I think I achieved 6 or 8 with Networked. And because I know the book and the concepts, it works.
