Dear Jerry

The crows around here say nothing of the sort so may I assume this is a joke
that I'm not getting?

But my point wasn't that within the Index "q.v." is used and on the title
page "which see" is used. My point was that within the Index "q.v." takes
the reader to a heading whereas "G, K, S (which see)" doesn't - - i.e. there
are no headings in the Index "G", "K", or "S."

You see?
