As posted by Matt on DF:
As to a preview document, I don't know where or if that stands, but here is the PRE-EDIT index so people can see what's in there. This was reformatted and some items were added to it, but it gives some idea. There is also an Index of Tables underneath, which is separate from the book index. This is copied from my MS Word draft document for the index that I made after seeing the first pagination (so some of the numbers will be wrong):

I own pretty much every previous version of S&W (most of which ended up being completely superfluous, IMO) and want to make sure I'm not going to find myself in the same boat with this latest release. Does it add anything substantially different that hasn't already been covered in some past print or electronic edition of S&W?
