*   **Organization of Knowledge**: It explores how indexes have shaped the organization and accessibility of knowledge throughout history 【3】.
*   **Books and Bookish Culture**: The book is a "bookish adventure" that delves into the world of books, readers, and the often-overlooked parts of books like the index 【4】.
*   **Time and Knowledge**: The book examines the relationship between time and knowledge, as the index has evolved as a tool to navigate and manage information 【5】.

Based on these themes, here are some categories of books that would connect well with Duncan's work:

*   **History of Books and Printing**: Books on the history of books, printing, and publishing would provide a broader context for understanding the index's role in the development of textual culture.
*   **Information Science**: Works exploring information architecture, knowledge management, and the organization of information in various media.
*   **Library Science**: Books about the history and theory of libraries, cataloging, and information retrieval systems.
*   **Cultural History**: Books that examine the cultural impact of books and reading practices, and how they have shaped society.
*   **Reference Works**: Other books about reference works, such as dictionaries, encyclopedias, and other tools for organizing knowledge.
