Of the three following sets of items, which would you index:

(1) Diego Collado's Grammar of the Japanese Language is a facsimile
reprint of a 17th century Latin grammar, along with an English
translation. In DP, we removed the facsimile reprint and processed
seperately, so the final book will merely have a note that the
facsimile was removed and where it can be found.

(2) DP is working on a series on non-renewed science fiction,
including stories in Astounding. We're working through H. Beam Piper
now, and posting his stories one by one, since we can't/aren't
clearing the magazines as a whole.

(3) I collected every mystery story I could find in anthologies that
was pre-1923, and plan to submit them to DP and PG as one volume.
