    It doesn't have an index, just a slightly inaccurated Table of Contents.
    Its pages aren't numbered.

    It also doesn't have the sheet music for some songs that appeared
    in various filkbooks.

    I numbered its pages today and corrected the ToC.

    I'm going to have Barry proofread my ToC on Sunday.
    Then I'll alphabetize it by song title and have Barry put it up
    on the Xenofilkia website.

    The Kindle has numbered pages.
    The paperback doesn't.
    This ToC and Index assumes you have numbered the song pages
    AND the non-song pages.
    Set a tab for the page number.

    It also doesn't have the sheet music for some songs that appeared
    in various filkbooks.

    It's a bit annoying that this book is available only through Amazon. I
    don't outright refuse to deal with Amazon, but they're my seller of last resort. Occasionally they have weird whims about what books to carry,
    which is their right, but even their little whims have major impact on
    the author and publisher. I'd rather buy from a filk dealer.

    I'll get to work on an entry in the filk book index, which I've
    maintained poorly in recent years, using the information Lee provided.

    Barry says he's posted the ToC and Index for this filkbook as clickable
    links on the Xenofilkia webpage.

    In a while we'll contact Chris and ask him if he wants Barry to create
    copies of the sheet music for his songs where we can find it (in
    Fantastic, in the Westerfilks, etc) and either send it to him or put
    it on the Xenofilkia webpage so people can see the sheet music
    and *hear* the music.

    Ordered.

    I suspect it's only available thru Amazon because Chris is using them as
    an on-demand publisher and that's part of the contract therefor...?
