Reviews before, during, and after the indexing process:

If your indexes are as thorough as your e-mails, I can't go wrong hiring you!
And I appreciate your working with me to figure out the most efficient least expensive way to get this done.
This is very good. Thank you for getting started so quickly. I wholeheartedly approve of your approach so far.
[Regarding a mislabeled caption.] This is spectacular!! Your comment about Fig 2.1 is correct. That is misleading.

Thanks so much, Jim. You're tearing through it and doing a superb job.
We are so grateful for the speedy turnaround and all your close checking.

I looked up random topics in the index, and it looks wonderful--I couldn't be happier!
Thanks so much for doing such a thorough job. It's better than most indexes I see.
