Most of us give little thought to the back of the book - it's just where you go to look things up. But here, hiding in plain sight, is an unlikely realm of ambition and obsession, sparring and politicking, pleasure and play. This is the secret world of the index: an unsung but extraordinary everyday tool, with an illustrious but little-known past.
