Generally, neither author nor title is given separate index entry in the case of book reviews. Entry is made under REVIEWS -- BOOKS, and under reviewer name if that name is given with a surname (but not if review gives initials/first name only/first name plus initial/apparent pseudonym). Arrangement is chronological by date of Perceptions issue. A very few titles have also been entered under subject, solely on the basis of the compiler's judgment of importance of subject access.
