The contemporary art scene has featured in a number of titles I have indexed. They include a consideration of contemporary theory, practice and instruction, art exhibited at the Freud Museums and what happens when artists don’t use their real names.

I have stepped back in time a little to work on a few books on members of the Bauhaus, including artists and craftspeople , the designers Herbert Bayer and Richard Riemerschmid and some of the more irrational and unconventional aspects.
A list of art, art history and Art Theory titles can be found on my blog.

A keen home baker who also enjoys indexing cookery books. Indexes include Deep South by Brad McDonald and Tanya Bakes by Tanya Burr.

I have indexed a range of academic and general interest books including subjects as diverse as the Battle of Britain, race horses, WWI – Americans serving in British forces, Medieval hermitages, and railwaymen. Books have included Churchill’s role in the creation of a united Europe and the role of the British in German education after World War II.

Earlier in my indexing career I indexed a number of works in English about the history of Spain and Spanish speaking countries. More recently I indexed Saint-Simon in Spain and a book on Spanish Fashion in the Age of Velazquez.

A list of all history books can be found on my blog.

An interesting glimpse of early English gardens is to be found in The Ornamental Wilderness. I indexed an illustrated book during the tercentenary year for Capability Brown. In 2017 I indexed the memoir of landscape architect Hal Moggridge.

A recent eyeopener was Out for Blood, the history of the musical Carrie. At the end of 2018 I was happy to revisit some of the music of my younger days indexing a book about the Northern Soul scene.
