>>>If you all that are included (or not included) in the imminently published book of member's photographs and personal info could give me an opinion as to a very basic book layout question I'd appreciate it. Should the authors/photographs be organized in alphabetical fashion or is random listing OK? Maybe in order of arrival? A friend of mine opined that if random those that normally come at the end of any queue would really appreciate it>>>
Well, as the author of "Designing Beautiful Books . . ." I spend considerable time wondering about content and organization. In my opinion, you should use a random listing. I am not sure order of arrival means anything. I say mix it up.
That said, you should add a TOC as well as an index so the reader can more easily locate a specific photographer. If you have a good index, you can give the reader the ability to locate information by location and subject.
I am not sure what program you are using to layout the book, but I use Microsoft Word and adding an index or a TOC is child's play. My latest book is all about templates, styles, headers, page and section breaks, ect. If you are using Word, I can help. I seem to recall you are not, however.
Luck to you,
