Just in case you want to absolutely everything that's in the book, here's the full index! Of course, you have to ignore the page numbers....if you want to look something up, you'll have to buy the book! Should you care to search for an item, and if your web software doesn't have a search feature, copy the page into your own word processing software and search it there.

INDEX (reproduced verbatim from the book, but without the lovely benefit of indenting, thanks to advanced Website technology(!). To recreate the indents in your mind, indent every lowercase item that follows an entry without a page number, i.e. "nylon pads" is a sub entry under Abrasives. All main entries have initial caps. OK? Sorry!)
