The contents list at the front of the book is in alphabetical order and is a list of the horses names gives paragraph numbers. Whereas the Index gives the Rider/Owner in alphanumeric order and gives paragraph numbers. So if you do not know the name of a persons horse you would look up the person in the Index and it would indicate the paragraph numbers to find the answer.For instance: Steptoe and Son would be under 'S' in the Index and this would lead you to 'Hercules' the strong man from Greek Mythology. Or Toy Story 2 would lead you to 'Bullseye'Books 3 and 4 are in the process of compiling it's a Never Ending Story.
