Make it personal without making it generic
Use the recipient's own theme words and preserve uncertainty with question marks instead of assigning conclusions.
Presentation
Wrap the index separately with a note that says the book itself was not altered.
Check the practical fit
- Space
- The booklet should slip inside a nearby envelope or shelf box without straining the binding.
- Skill
- Careful indexing and privacy judgment matter more than decorative lettering.
- Maintenance
- Add a simple key so the recipient can extend or revise the index without the giver.
- Accessibility
- Offer typed, large-print, audio, or high-contrast versions and avoid tiny flags if dexterity is a concern.
- Sustainability
- Use a small amount of durable paper and keep all additions removable.
- Timing
- Work in short sessions and return the book promptly whenever the recipient wants it back.
